"Day Care"

I arrived at 8. 30 as instructed by my letter. Was seen by a nurse at aprrox 8. 50 then waited until 11am. I was then called to wait in a different area for a further 20 mins. The consultant greeted me in a room with about 6 other people in there some nurses but no one said why the others were there or who they were. I was asked questions by the consultant who then asked me to get on the bed. I was having an injection in my foot. He told me that I would feel a little scratch then this watery stuff hit the nurse standing by my head straight in the eye and caught my face and the corner of my left eye. She rushed out the room leaving me lying there..

At that point I had no idea what had hit me. When she returned to the room I asked her and she said it was the anithestic that had squirted everywhere. I can only assume that the consultant pushed the syringe to hard hence the splash back. No one reassured me about it. So I told the nurse that some had gone in my eye also and she took me to get it washed out. The consultant made very light of the situation which is all well and good but I wasn't to know whether it would have any effect on my eyes.
