Typing with one finger on an ergo keyboard is very difficult, but the service was pretty good despite the wait and nonchalant doctor who was too chilled for his own good.

Too chilled for his own good? Stop talking utter ********.

If you can only imagine the cases they get in there then sorry fella, your poor hand is like a lunch break compared to what would bring him out of "chilled" mode.

You miss the context i suppose. He left me waiting for over an hour, taking up space, when i should have been told to leave. I've seen worse than my hand for sure and im not complaining in the slightest. The guy was a complete dude and he fixed me up good, but even the nurses said the same thing. I could been out of there in no time but i was left sat with my hand on a table waiting for nothing. There were other people with bones sticking out who could have been sat where i was. Either way it was sorted.

If you want the story i was stopping my parents from kicking the **** out of each other and ended up smashing my hand into a ceramic flip top sugar container. They've argued and fought all my life. I went over to enjoy a night out with them and it all went to ****. Not a nice place to be.
 
right let me get this right you didnt think the department was busy because of the 5 poeple in the waiting room? so the countless emergencies going on in the various treatment areas didnt cross your mind?

It might have been a five minute job, and therefore it probably would have been near the bottom of the list. You won't see what else goes on there, and unlike the nurses the doctors will be in more rooms than one.

Sorry about the post above, I've come off a bit rude, but it really annoys me when people bring in the fact that they pay taxes.

5 nurses sat talking and a doctor just stood looking and the floor for half an hour at a time. And it was a quiet night, they said and apologised. Don't get it misconstrued, im not complaining it must be a **** job with all the drunken lads given them **** and giving treatment to people like me who they probably consider a time waster. Until you're sat there waiting hours bleeding all over the place, you just don't realise how crap it is. No reflection on the establishment and staff, just isn't a nice experience.

If this is going to continue into some kind of holier than thou then bin this thread. I was just sharing my injuries thoughts and embarrassment, i aint proud that im sat here one handed typing wondering how im gonna get any work done this week.
 
surely everyone knows not to go to A and E unless your dying on a night. especially at a weekend

sensible people go back in the morning when all the day shift staff are back

guess you had to learn that somehow though! shame it was the hard way of waiting for hours
 
I was in the minor injuries unit at Blackburn Royal, so not quite A&E but its to stop people crowding the ambulance bay and entrance. It was all pretty dead according to the nurse.

No worries. The taxes quip was a reply to someone else in the thread. I went there expecting to get laughed at but the doctor was quite concerned about it. It was my mum and girlfriend who made me go, i was happy to stick a bit of tape over it.

Shut up, what do you want, the guy to be overly concerned with a couple of stiches?
I'm laid back, why get stressed man, you'll live longer if you just chill, no need to be some boring uptight idiot just because you're educated.

The human body is just another machine, all the stitches are is fixing a couple of leaks.

That's not the point. He was wondering around the corridor and left me then the nurse came in realising he'd forgotten about me and said my exact words herself. I quite enjoyed watching his handywork, i don't expect anyone to give a toss.

6 Stitches over 2 fingers. I was just rather dismayed at waiting from 2am till 6am when it only took 10 mins to sort and there was only 5 other people waiting. Hence why i posted from my phone whilst staring at the floor. Not a nice place to be overnight.
