"Brilliant service from the A & E staff"

About: University College Hospital / Accident and emergency

I am 71, I went to A & E last night after tripping over in the road.

I had cuts to my left hand, my face, jaw, knees and hands were cut and bruised.

A tooth had also fallen out.

All of the staff were helpful efficient and friendly.

There was a very full waiting room but I was seen very quickly for triage and within a very short time I was called in to have my hand stitched.

It needed 12 stitches, the doctor was calm he explained what he was doing and his stitching was painless.

I was then sent for a specialist OPG

X-ray and was relieved to find I had not fractured my jaw.

I was then given a tetanus injection and was ready to go home.

Everything was done and I was on my way home in under two hours.

Thank goodness for the NHS.
