My partner had an accident with their Bmx and damaged their foot, they came home and rested for a couple of hours and then decided to go to the Northam hospital as their pain was at a 9!
A member of staff took all my partner's details then I believe they told my partner it’s most likely broken but they had no one here to X-ray until tomorrow. My partner's question was what happens if a little girl came in and needed an X-ray, I recall the staff member replied that they have people on call but this isn’t a serious emergency and to come back tomorrow morning.
Now this is the second experience we have had this year- first was our newborn being rejected which I have already come to this page and told my story. Now for this to be seemingly another turned away patient in my own family is beyond me, I need to take this further but I’m not sure where I start. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
