I suffered a severe knee dislocation whilst home alone with two small children. The Pain was excruciating and I could not move. I have to wait 1 hour and 15 mins for the ambulance crew to arrive. I cannot fault the two paramedics but I find it appalling that I was left with such a severe injury for such a long time. Even the paramedics said that the reduction was much harder to do because the knee had been so severely dislocated for such a long time, making ligament and muscle damage more likely.
