Delay in physio

Posted By leathernn37

"Delay in physio"

About: Margaret River Hospital

(as the patient),

I had surgery in Perth recently and was discharged two days later. I had a physio coming to my family's home in Perth, but after I moved back home to Margaret River I was told there'd be a delay in getting me physio here. I'm just disappointed we couldn’t have had a bit quicker liaison with getting me into my local physio at Margaret River. I still haven’t got them until after about a 3-week gap.

This 3-week delay is a disappointing thing. I thought by now I could have gone onto some further exercises.
