Broken jaw

Posted By Joe blow

"Broken jaw"

About: Royal Perth Hospital / Face and Jaw (Maxillofacial) Surgery

(as the patient),

Had the best treatment from doctors, nurses and everyone who I dealt with at rph.

Had broken jaw for more than five years, after admitting to rph, I was equipped with full titanium mandrel on both sides cost excess 100k 

Now I can snore, yarn and eat a hamburger- sounds trivial yet my mouth opening was 8mm.

When you are ill, sick or injured- service and care can seem to be unfair.

I was mistreated for more than four and half years, I say to hell and back, fortunate for me I had a good outcome. I believe we are all fallible, nurses are angels, doctors are demi gods. One thing that inspires me is there is always someone worse off and hospital is were you can view em, in my opinion.

I hope better endings to more patients and more positive interactions from hospital staff.

Ta.
