Original feedback for

James Paget Hospital


Personal abilities not considered

I am 79 years old, and will be 80 in January 2016. In March 2015 I fell in the my own home. I did not trip over anything but I hit a sliding glass door. I damaged the middle finger of my right hand, it buckled and formed an arch that would not straighten out. I thought it was broken. My neighbour took me to the James Paget hospital and the X-Ray revealed it was not broken. I was provided with a splint which I could not put on myself being right handed. I since went to Norfolk and Norwich and my GP and the diagnosis was severe tendon damage.
