In my opinion, the nurse was incorrectly trained on the use of the plaster/fibreglass cast cutting tool, and very insensitive and rude.
My leg was badly burnt and cut up the sides and along the ankle.When my leg jolted due to the pain, instead of an apology I was reprimanded for sudden movement that put her in danger. She said, these things don't cut you, and was surprised to see my cuts bleeding underneath once the cast was removed.Now I may have scars and possible infection.
