After being referred by another hospital ( no hand specialist available? ) to Sydney Eye and Hand Hospital.
Within 10 minutes of arrival, I was triaged by the specialist team at Sydney Hospital.
Ended up needing surgery, lots of antibiotics. Before and after surgery. A two night stay ( that was unexpected- so I must of been sick ! )
I can’t speak highly enough of all the nursing team , surgeons. In general all the staff at the hospital.
My follow up care was just as professional experience with great knowledgeable staff.
My injury - suspected spider bite on the left hand dorsal. That became an infected abscess effecting hand movement. Original oral antibiotics could not flatten the infection that had ramped up.
