The NHS is a service that we pay for, whether we want to or not. It should deliver, and when it doesn't we should damn well get our money back one way or another.
It'll come down to whether an ambulance chaser wants to take on your case. Try a few, be clear that you need monies now, not in 3 years time. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

As with all this complaint stuff you need to follow their procedure otherwise it will not be looked at.
Their procedure of course is the default they did nothing wrong.
I don't think you can jump straight into calling an ambulance chaser where there's blame there's a claim firm. Could be wrong on that, post back if I am.
Best start the ball rolling with the hospital PALS (patient advice and liason service).
FWIW details of making a NHS complaint here.
It's the NHS though, expect management to perform much covering of ass arse (I think that's why they're paid the big bucks). ____________________ ...and the whirlwind is in the thorn trees, it's hard for thee to kick against the pricks...

I was unclear. I meant that if money is the goal then there's little point in even beginning the complaints process if you can't find an ambulance chaser willing to pick it up after the NHS finally knocks it back.
I'd suggest doing it anyway though, for great justice. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Is there anything in your notes or discharge papers that says anything about a malleolar or lateral malleolus fracture ?
This is the posh term for a fibula fracture at the ankle (the malleolus are the bony bits that stick out of your ankle either side).
If there is then they should have known your ankle was broken (your tibial plateau is at the knee end of your tibia - as you probably know, so they shouldn't have really not got the two confused).
It is possible that you had an undisplaced fibula fracture that did not show up on an x ray, and that walking on it then displaced it at a later time.
I'm working with someone at the moment who broke their hip, but no one could see it on an x ray, it was only because he was in continued pain that they got a CT scan and found it. I've also worked with a lady in the last month who had the same thing and didn't know until the fracture displaced. I guess in short, its sometimes not easy to see fractures on an x ray.
Its up to you if you sue or not. Each NHS trust pays a fucking huge negligence insurance premium, so they might as well get their monies worth out of it (I'm convinced my trusts premium is substantially more than the cost of paying for any mistakes directly).
I would definitely get to PALS though and explain your complaint. ____________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." Hunter S Thompson

Wasn't that the advert that started out as:
"The floor was wet and I slipped"
Which then became:
"The floor was wet with no warning sign"
Am I missing something with the story; they possibly missed something, you were still in pain, so they did further checks and found the problem?

My first thought would be if you were knocked off, was it the other driver's fault?
If so, who is dealing with your claim against them?
Cos if it was, what you really need to be doing is chasing your lawyer/claim manager to gee up their insurance for a substantial interim payment in respect of your injuries.
It is their responsibility to ensure you are able to meet your basic bills whilst you are waiting for a final outcome on your claim. ____________________ Sod falling in love, I wanna fall in chocolate. |
