I recently had to take my elderly mother to Wonthaggi ED after she suffered a nasty fall resulting in a very painful arm and shoulder and a knock to her head.
The treatment she received was exceptionally thorough, from a complete check of her body for any other injuries, ECG, head and neck CT, X-ray of her arm and shoulder, blood tests and tetanus injection as she also grazed her hand in the fall.
Her treating junior doctor Julia was fantastic as were the nurses and other doctors, and even though this fiercely independent woman in her 90s kept telling me 'they are making too much fuss', I am so glad they did. Thank you Wonthaggi ED, you are the best.
