"Nurses very very helpful and very caring too"

About: New Victoria Hospital / Minor injuries unit

(as the patient),

I thought brilliant, being taken as when I phoned A&E I asked would it be OK if I went up to A&E and answer "heard yourself", however I was not taken after an hour.

Dr looked at my toe "ulcer" on Tuesday. Underwent an x-ray on Tuesday - efficient.

then I was told a chest x-ray necessary. I nearly died - it was a mistake - wrong person.

X-ray on toe fine - total blood sugar level OK.

Monday further tests necessary. Told to go to practice nurse. Before I went to hospital I went to my chiropodist, she said my shoe had been rubbing it. No infections on it, no ulcer.

So tomorrow I got to practice nurse, had diabetes with bad toe! Worried. However, nurses very very helpful and very caring too.

Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to provide this feedback, it is greatly appreciated.

I will ensure that the Nurses in Minor Injuries Unit and staff in the A&E Department are aware of your very thoughtful remarks.
