Plain Talker   11 #1 Posted February 12, 2008 Got back home earlier, from a trip to Minor Injuries.  I had a fall (bless my poor balance!) and landed awkwardly on my hand. My hand was in a "fist" shape, and I got my thumb tangled, folded inside my fist. There was a nasty cracking sound, and I was in a lot of pain.  the x-ray says it's not broken, I've just damaged the ligaments.  By gum, does it hurt, though!  Got to say a huge thanks to the staff there, I was in and out in just over an hour, strapped up, and on my way. Efficient! Excellent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Becky B Â Â 31 #5 Posted February 12, 2008 It's always nice to hear thanks, as people are usually more ready to complain (I don't work at the MIU, but the principle's the same!)

Well done those people  Hope the injury gets better soon PT  hi Zimily. the walk in is for treatment of minor ailments.  the Minor Injuries is next door, a sort of "mini-casualty" where you can go with cuts, sprains, bruises, etc to be checked out.
