"Ignored concerns"

About: Esperance Health Campus / General medicine Esperance Health Campus / Trauma & orthopaedics

(as the patient),

As an impatient in Esperance hospital I suffered a fall outside of hospital, when I was brought back into ED, I believe I was not assessed correctly or thoroughly, and I felt I had my concerns ignored by both nursing and medical staff resulting in a delay of medical diagnosis and compromising my health. I felt my concerns were continually ignored for the next 2 days until imaging was finally completed which discovered I had several fractures from the fall. After discovering the fractures my pain was poorly managed with medical staff seemingly not listening to my concerns of increased pain. Another day later I had more imaging which uncovered another fracture.
