Breaking my leg

Posted By limpyjohn

"Breaking my leg"

About: Musgrove Park Hospital / Accident and emergency South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust

(as the patient),

In October 2013. I fell in my bathroom causing an open fracture to my right leg.

I called the ambulance service, who supported we till the ambulance arrived. The ambulance crew were fantastic and soon had the situation under control.

Because of their excellent work my leg has been saved! I can't thank them and all concerned enough.

Kind regards
