ED Visit with broken arm

Posted By magpiecs44

"ED Visit with broken arm"

About: Margaret River Hospital / Emergency Department

(as the patient),

My Mum took me to Margaret River ED with a broken arm. I was in a lot of pain and was taken straight in, made to feel calm and given happy gas and morphine for the pain while we waited for X-ray.

I did a good job of my arm and needed to get the bones straightened. I was sedated and my arm was straightened and the cast applied. The Nurses and Doctors were so awesome, telling me what they were doing and helping me.

My Mum said I could not have asked for a better team on the night.

Thanks to Dr’s Cathy and Ian and the Nurses, Nic, Marina and Jess.

Ian and Marina did such a good job straightening my bones that I don’t think I need surgery and they can heal on their own. Cathy and Nic ensured that I was safe the whole time and did not feel a thing. We are so grateful for their care. Thanks also to Mary who did all my x-rays.
