After damaging her back at the beginning of our holiday to Broome my wife was in a lot of pain and was in tears doing everyday things like sitting and lying down.
After a couple of trips to the pharmacy for the best pain relief we could get over the counter we decided on day 2 (of 7) to visit the A&E, expecting a long wait, a high cost and probably a travel insurance claim.After presenting ourselves to Broome A&E we filled out a form with our details, provided a passport and waited. Seeing my wife was in a lot of pain the nurse behind the counter went to see if she could find a doctor to provide some temporary pain relief. Two minutes later we were taken through to the treatment area and transferred to a bed.
Dr Sasha promptly followed, provided friendly, efficient advice and described in terms we could understand what had happened and how he arrived at his treatment plan.
We were in and out in 30 minutes and were able to continue our holiday! There was no cost to us and no insurance claim to make.
