"my son at urgent care"

About: Burnley General Hospital

I took my child to urgent care on Thursday morning as he had an accident with his foot at school I saw the nurse then left over an hour to see a doctor when I saw the doctor I was given a letter to go to x-ray where I was seen straight away and I returned back and gave the letter back and was sent back to waiting room where I waited 25 minutes for results then was told my son needed a cast where I also had to wait 15 minutes. I was not given any information on my sons bone problem and also was told to make an appointment at fracture clinic asap. I was not given any aids to help my child get round .I made an appointment only to have it cancelled 25 hours later and given another appointment in blackburn days after my other appointment . so I am now left with a child I have to carry around and a week off school
