It would have been helpful if the surgeon involved talked to me before the operation telling me what type of break I had and what they would be doing during the operation to repair the fracture. I didn't know what had been done for a while. The staff at the hospital were fantastic and very kind and caring. I was transferred to Hayle Hospital where the staff were also fantastic. One criticism I have of Hayle Hospital is concerning medication. I had a severe reaction with codeine, I felt I was on fire and told them that I didn't want any more codeine. Unfortunately this was not acted on and I was given codeine every day and even when I told them again, no one listened and they even sent me home with a full box of codeine. I threw the codeine tablets away each day as I didn't want another reaction like I had and returned the unopened box of codeine to my local surgery.
