Patient Experience - Heart Felt Thank you

I would like to share with you a message from a patient about their journey through Ryde Hospital, and their compliments in relation to the wonderful care and attention I received at Ryde hospital after suffering a fall and fracturing my wrist. It is a wonderful reminder of why we should all be so proud of the work we do at Ryde every day. I was conveyed by ambulance to ER at Ryde Hospital where I was attended to immediately and had my wrist X - rayed within approximately 15 minutes. A very short time after that I was advised that sur- gery to insert a plate and pins would be required. I remained in ER for a period of time, however due to other trauma cases presenting, the operation was not able to be performed that evening. I was released with a temporary cast and scheduled for day surgery the next day. I have nothing but the highest praise for all of the staff at Ryde Hospital who took care of me not only in ED and day surgery, but at every point from administration, up to and including the follow up at the Fracture Clinic and Physiotherapy.
