I visited the A and E department this morning with an open shin wound, having been advised by my doctor to do so, and have only praise for the service received.
I was seen within a short period of time and checked by a most supportive and friendly doctor, I think, who explained what would happen. A nurse then cleaned the wound and applied a number of butterfly stitches, reassuring me all the time and advising me on the care I must take and followup treatment..I was asked also if my tetanus cover was up to date.
Often media portray the hospital in a negative light, but the care i received was first class, as it was on two previous visits over the last few years. Thank you.
