"Hospital care"

About: Quairading Health Service

(as the patient),

Presented at our local Hospital in a small Wheatbelt town to have a rose thorn splinter removed. I was told that we have no tweezers or no scalpel so you’ll need to travel to Northam which is 120km away. Which I then did for fear of finger becoming infected. I recall the nurse at the ED Department in Northam was flabbergasted that our facility had no tweezers or scalpel to even attempt removal of rose thorn. The whole procedure took 4 hours out of my day.
