Treatment after a fall

"Treatment after a fall"

About: Armadale Hospital / Orthopaedic/Trauma Outpatient Clinic Royal Perth Hospital / Trauma & Reconstructive & Plastic Surgery Services

(as the patient),

Had a nasty fall whilst out shopping at a major hardware chain and dislocated my finger. Went to Armadale Hospital Ed and I felt I was seen straight away. My finger was promptly numbed, then x-rayed, the dislocation put back into place and the finger x-rayed again where it was discovered it was fractured. My finger was splinted and I was given paracetamol and a referral to RPH plastic surgery clinic for it to be re-splinted.

I found the staff at Armadale were amazing and so professional and I received a call early the following morning from RPH to arrange a time to come in. So far great service from both hospitals. Thank you.
