Treatment after a fall

Posted By defendersq57

"Treatment after a fall"

About: Armadale Hospital / Orthopaedic/Trauma Outpatient Clinic

(as the patient),

Fall on my driveway led to fractured wrist and referral to orthopaedic trauma clinic. Immediate x-rays and splint followed by visits to clinic. By second visit to check progress I had developed full blown hip problems. Doctor Milenko took one look at me struggling to walk; he immediately got wheelchair and requested x-rays only to find that I now need both hip replacements. It took about 10 minutes of his time to observe, investigate and diagnose my long suffering condition of 30+ years. A truly remarkable outcome. Thank you Dr Milenko for due diligence and skills.

Dear defendersq57

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback regarding the care you received recently from the Orthopaedic Team at Armadale Kalamunda Group (AKG).

I was sorry to read that you have recently suffered a fall, but I am grateful to hear your kind words that our staff involved in your care have helped and supported you through this journey of recovery.

It is always lovely to hear when staff have left such a positive impression and provided the type of care we would like for our own loved ones – especially when that due diligence has led to diagnosis of a long suffered condition.

We really appreciate you taking the time to provide us with this feedback, I know the staff, with particular mention to Dr Milenko, will be delighted and encouraged to receive it.

Kind regards,

Neil Cowan

Executive Director

Armadale Kalamunda Group
