"My visit to Fiona Stanley Emergency"

About: Fiona Stanley Hospital / Emergency Department Fiona Stanley Hospital / Orthopaedics & Ward 4A

(as the patient),

It started out as a normal morning last week when I went out in to the courtyard to do some watering.  Unfortunately, I tripped over the hose and broke my kneecap.  Got myself back in to the house to find my phone but fell over again and broke my wrist.

As my husband was overseas I needed to ring for an ambulance.

I was taken to Fiona Stanley Emergency, xrayed and assessed by the doctors.  I had surgery the next day, recuperated and was assessed by the  physiotherapist and the Occupational Therapist.  My husband returned from England and brought me home a few days later.

I wanted to say a big thank you to all the personnel involved in my care.  I found them without exception to be caring, attentive and respectful at all times.  From the ambulance team to the doctors and nurses, to the logistics and hospitality team they were truly fabulous.  

I feel exceptionally fortunate to have had such wonderful healthcare.
