"fracture clinic 1st appointment"

About: Manchester Royal Infirmary / Trauma and orthopaedics

Appoint 9am was not seen until 11 doctor sent me to have a boot fitted for my broken ankle I've had a cast on for 5 days anyway was told they had no boots they had been ordered but had not been delivered why I'd like to know? If I would of had a boot I could of showered also it would of took my weight but had to have a new cast which is sweaty and itchy and driving me mad I can't put weight on it and have to wear this continually for 2 weeks can't bath or shower I'm sure these boots are a necessity also I wouldn't have to give myself injections everyday to stop me getting blood clots, apart from this the staff are all very good but this should be looked at and sorted out so they are always in supply not happy and going to make a complaint
