"If I go for an X-Ray on my Knee, it's because I've..."

About: Tameside General Hospital

Anything else?

I've developed a problem with my knee which means it keeps clicking and locking up. When this happens it's very sore.

My GP sent me to Tameside General for an X-Ray.

What would have been absolutely fantastic would have been if the nurse performing the X-Ray warned me in advance of violently bending my knee which caused me agony.

Just maybe, people go for X-Rays becasue they have hurt themselves so why not ask them or warn the first the preferebly get the patient to move their injured limb into position for the X-Ray so you don't have to just violently yank their sore/infured limbs into posiiton without warning.

Just a thought !!

NB, Why is X-Ray not listed as department ??
