A 120kg human weight accidentally fell on top of me injuring my left knee and both feet. I was in a lot of pain and quite distressed.
Dr. Peter was on call, assessed me quickly, exrayed my left knee and foot. He was very sympathetic and caring. Lisa the night nurse with him was so caring and helpful. She looked after me thru out the night as I had been admitted for observation.
In the morning another nurse Gwenda took over my care and couldn't have been more helpful and kind. I cannot praise the staff enough for their professionalism and kind caring attention. Thank you so very much.
