I felt powerless and a general lack of care when we had a follow up appointment for my child's broken wrist. The specialist joked that they saw the job Newman did on a plaster and that we wouldn’t get any better because of where we lived. When I requested a second opinion and how I would receive the referral there was shoulder shrugs and I felt general arrogance from the specialist and register in the room. When I questioned whether the wrist was ok given the x-ray I was not given clear information and just fobbed off. Not good enough!
