I stumbled and fell coming down a 2,500 foot hill, at 1,000ft. Struggled down then was driven home. Called NHS 24 the next day, had video consultation. Advised to go to Wishaw Minor Injuries Unit.
Got to Wishaw, and within 2 hours was x-rayed, fitted with moonboot and crutches after lateral malleolous fibula fracture detected, chech x-ray and sent home with clinic appointment 9 days later but told they'd review at trauma meeting on the Monday.
Called on the Monday morning to advise operation needed and on a list of 40. Called again the Monday evening and asked to come in the next day.
Operation completed before midday on the Tuesday. Now home, with clinic review and final review upcoming. All painkillers (blood thinner injections) supplied.
Really as good as it gets and amazing care, from all, in a very busy service.
