I dislocated my hip and fractured my pelvis while indoor rock climbing. I went to TMC because it would be better for my insurance. I arrived via ambulance. I was in excruciating pain as my femur was dislocated out of my pelvis. My hip was not reduced for around 8 hours. They are lucky this was not catastrophic as this is a long time to have a dislocated hip given all the nerves and blood vessels that run in the area.
Work on prioritizing more acute patients as this was completely unacceptable.
