"Diy care in ucc unit"

About: Hammersmith Hospital

Having injured my elbow i attended this clinic and needed to have an x-ray then on returning to the ucc centre was told that they did not have a report from x-ray department so was shown a picture of an elbow taken for medical studies showing an inflamed elbow with a red inflamed elbow joint and was told she could not see any sign of a fracture? the picture was showing part of the hand /wrist /elbow and upper arm, which when the x-ray department only took a picture of my elbow bent l-shape, then laying flat facing upwards, so how did they manage to take a x-ray of only my elbow and then showing me a picture from the web sight showing the whole hand/wrist/elbow and upper arm no x-ray in sight, should i have gone straight to my computer and downloaded a picture of an elbow and self assess myself and then picked one that did not have a fracture. UCC or local DIY.?.
