1. Attendance at Merredin Hospital Emergency with a broken foot, despite my request the doctor would not request an X-ray. I was told it was not worth an emergency x-ray. The foot remained very sore. Went to a different hospital and received excellent care.
2. Attendance at Merredin Hospital Emergency with a very sore and swollen knee (about 6 weeks ago). I could not straighten my leg. I cannot quite yet. I was told it was not worth an emergency x-ray. Eventually saw my GP and got an X-ray referral. Now waiting. Possible complications due to delay.
I believe both events have cost the government and me a lot of money.
"Unhappy with care at Emergency Department"
