The most horrible reception in the emergency room ...

The most horrible reception in the emergency room of Saint-Pierre hospital in 1000 Brussels.

Tuesday night I was hit by a van at a crosswalk. I was thrown 1.5 meters and fell flat on my back and head. The blow from the car came from the left side of the body - shoulder, arm, rib cage, thigh, whole leg.
Fortunately, the police were nearby and they called an ambulance. The ambulance doctors acted professionally, put on an orthodepic collar, put me on a stretcher and transported me to the ambulance service at Saint-Pierre hospital.
And then a real nightmare began.
After a while, the first doctor checked if I could follow his hand with my eyes and removed the orthopedic collar. And he asked - where it hurts in particular. It's the ankle that hurts the most - I replied. I was shown to the door to the x-ray room, where I waited 40 minutes.
The nurse was trying to do something while I was lying in the hallway on a stretcher. She gave me painkillers, reminded the doctor that I was still there.
After that I had an x-ray, but only my ankle. Then another doctor came 30 minutes later. I asked her at least to do an x-ray of my knee and rib cage (it was very painful for me to breathe). Again, I waited for an additional x-ray.
For 3.5 hours in the emergency room, nobody tries to get rid of my coat and my backpack.
I didn't think very well after hitting my head, so I didn't think about ordering an MRI of the head, and the doctor didn't suggest.
There was no broken bone on the x-ray. And the doctor said I could go home.
I rolled up my pants with difficulty and showed my very swollen knee. "No problem, just a hematoma" - said the doctor - "buy ice and apply". It was already midnight and I could move with great difficulty due to severe pain in my left leg. I went.

Now I would like to end this story. I wasted 10 days - asked my polyclinic to give me MRI prescriptions for my aching head and knee. Results I was operated on in the emergency room of the Erasmus hospital because Dr. Dr Youatou Towo from Saint-Pierre did not notice that my knee was broken and sent me home. Now two months of recovery !!!

I do not wish anyone to go to this hospital !!!
