Schoolboy and P-plater driver help fall victim at Sutherland

I would like to say a big thank you to the nice schoolboy who I think might have been from St Patrick's Sutherland, who stopped to help me when I had a bad fall on Tuesday at about 5pm in the side road in Glencoe Street.

Also the kind P-plater driver who stopped to help.

I was on my way to see my husband in hospital so I really was thankful to these two lovely fellows.

The lovely P-plater even offered to drive me to the hospital.

Staff wonderful

On Tuesday, February 10 I attended Sutherland Hospital emergency department with a badly infected abrasion on my leg.

I was assessed by the triage sister, Erin, who covered the wound.

Less than 10 minutes later I was introduced to another practitioner, Alistair, who put me on a bed, treated the wound and put me on a drip.

He told me I would require home nursing for at least five days.

Southcare Aged and Extended Care from Sutherland Hospital staffed by Judy, Sally and Elaine treated me for two weeks.

All those mentioned are super staff who sometimes have to work in harrowing conditions.
