Road Traffic Collision

"Road Traffic Collision"

About: Basildon University Hospital / Accident and emergency Basildon University Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics Connect Physical Health Ltd Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust - Queen's Medical Centre Campus

(as the patient),

Four of my family including myself were hit by a car on the pavement as pedestrians.  I was seriously injured with 3 fractures to my pelvis and a cracked hip socket.  In addition I had facial injuries requiring 6 internal and 3 internal stitches plus 6 broken teeth.  This incident happened in Leicester and I was transferred to the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham.  I spent eight days in there and was then transferred back home by ambulance to Basildon Hospital. After Basildon I was transferred to a Rehab Unit in Grays. On discharge from Grays I spent two days at home and was readmitted to Basildon Hospital with chest pains.  In all I spent 6 weeks in hospitals,

I have found that my treatment in all hospitals has been excellent.  The staff have been absolutely amazing and I received first class treatment.  I am still receiving medical treatment, Physio, Pain Management, Therapy and Dental. It is a very long process.
