"My son who broke his wrist"

About: Margaret River Hospital / Emergency Department

(as a parent/guardian),

My son was pushed at school and broke his wrist quite badly, he was in a lot of pain. The staff in ED were phenomenal from triage right through to behind the doors. We were rushed into a bay, had an xray and then quickly it was decided to do a sedation to reset the bone as it was too painful and traumatising for my son being awake for it. The staff here at Margaret River Hospital have been so lovely and warm. The radiology Brendan is a legend, coming in after hours to re xray after it was set/cast. The Drs were so good - all the staff were amazing with my son who is 13. So grateful for the care and attention we’ve received here.

Dear cricketeh84,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us on Care Opinion.

I am so sorry to hear about your son’s injury, but incredibly pleased that he received the care and support he needed during such a stressful time.

Our Emergency Department team works hard to ensure patients, especially young people, feel safe, supported, and well cared for, so it’s wonderful to hear that your son was treated with such compassion throughout his visit.

I will be sure to pass on your kind words to Brendan and our radiology team, as well as the doctors and ED staff involved. Feedback like this truly means a lot to them, especially when they go the extra mile after hours.

We hope your son is recovering well, and we sincerely thank you for taking the time to recognise the team. Wishing him a smooth and speedy recovery.

Kind regards,

Sandy Znidarsich

Clinical Nurse Manager
