"An accident"

About: Northam Health Service / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

Driving  along  suburban road  in York  i had to  turn  into the  road  near the  Holly  Trinity  Church  needing to  stop  for a minute, I opened the  car door  thinking  that I  had  put the  car in park  but I'd  put it in  nutural  getting  out of my car  i caught  my leg up  in the  seat  belt  and  leaning  out I over  balanced  an fell onto the  bitumen road  causing  all sorts of  painful  trauma.

Long  story  cut short  i was taken by  ambulance  to  northam  emergency hospital  where  i spent the night. For the  next  four  weeks or  more  the wonderful  registered  nurses  changed my  bandaging ,such  care was  given to make sure  pain was kept  to minimum, with humour and  care  it was a slow  process.

I am very  grateful  for the  help  i received  from the  nurses, some of the  treatment  is  ongoing  but I'm  in safe hands.

Kindest regards from marchgk93.

Dear marchgk93,

Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am so pleased to hear that your treatment is ongoing in ‘safe hands’ after what must have been a very painful experience.

I can only imagine the severe pain you experienced from your injury but very heartened to hear of the professionalism and high level of care you received from all concerned in your ongoing treatment and recovery.

We are very proud of the Emergency Department and Wound Clinic team who continuously provide outstanding care to their local community. I will have great pleasure in passing on your uplifting words to the team.

I hope your recovery continues to go well.

Kind Regards

Kumar Deep

Operations Manager - Western
