Recently I presented to Wonthaggi ED with severe, non-specific leg pain. At all times my experience was validated and promptly treated. And even though my behaviour was not ideal ( turns out I’m quite obnoxious when in pain), I was always treated with care and kindness. And every member of the ED team contributed to my good care. Porters, food staff, nurses, doctors and physios. All were friendly, professional and responsive to my needs. Special thanks to Christine for validating my experience of pain and assuring me it was recognised.
In an environment where medical misogyny is a hot topic, especially regarding women in pain, Wonthaggi ED provided unequivocally great care.
"Excellent ED response to severe pain"
