"Dissatisfied"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

Anything else?

My son was admitted to A&E over the weekend.

He had been assaulted and severely punched in the face.

He was left to wait for around 5 hrs as the X-ray department

Was closed till the morning, he received pain relief for which we were

Grateful but really that was that.

Once X-rays had been taken and a double

Fractured jaw has been diagnosed he was told that due to

Lack of resources he would have to makes his own way to the

James Cook Hospital.

He was then let go High on meds as a kite no one from the staff

Assisted him to the awaiting car we organised nor

Was his fractured jaw supported in any way.

Thoroughly disgusted parent also staff at James Cook were

Amazed at the way he had been treated.
