We attended the Emergency Department recently with my teenage child who had fallen heavily on their elbow. The triage nurse and first doctor that we saw were great. We did have to wait a long time but that is to be expected in emergency. My issue lies with the head doctor that the doctor we saw had to report to. The head doctor had to help assess my child and to put it bluntly they had no bedside manner. The head doctor didn't talk to my child just started moving their arm around which was obviously sore and they never asked my child questions and didn't speak to me at all, this is why we do not know their name. I feel that this is not appropriate practice by a senior doctor.
