I found this to be mostly good service until the nurse applied dressing on my elderly parent's wound. I thought it was odd that the nurse stuck the adhesive on my parent's torn skin but they seemed competent enough and I believe they were following instructions of the consultant and registrar.
Unfortunately the nurse was mistaken and now my parent has an infection.
I believe you should always ask questions, especially if you sense something is wrong. Thank goodness it was a relatively minor injury. I am keeping track of the progress.
