My young child had an appointment at Geraldton Fracture clinic recently. The Dr that saw them, I’m really disgusted in how they treated my eldest child who took my young child to the appointment. I have severe osteoarthritis and walking into the clinic would have been too painful. My eldest child said they would take my young child in. My young child injured their foot recently, since then it has healed, we have given them all the antibiotics etc.
My child's appointment was mid-morning and they made them wait 3 hours and as any child would, they were getting restless, they were starting to yell at my eldest child and my eldest child was already trying to keep calm. When they went through my eldest child put my youngest child on the bed and lifted up their leg for the doctor to see. I understand the first thing the Doctor said was why aren't they wearing shoes, I’m going to report this to child services, their foot could have gotten infected.
We missed the first appointment because I didn’t get a message about it so I made a second appointment and I knew by then the foot would be healed. My eldest child was sobbing by the time they got to the car.
