This was a fraught time for me. As previously mentioned, I did not completely appreciate the extent of my medical emergency.With hindsight, the decision to transfer me to Saint Mary’s would have benefited me more had it been done sooner.

The busing staff on this visit was amazing. The doctor on duty was very dismissive and could barely be bothered to even look at the injury and immediately started explaining why she wasn’t closing with stitches which I had already explained I didn’t expect as I only came to the ER because I knew I would need antibiotics following a dog bite.
