Was taken there by ambulance after being hit by a car while cycling, taken there by ambulance with the lights and sirens on.

Once there I was placed in the resuscitation room, sent for a ct scan which confirmed a very nasty break in both my tibia and fibula along with a type 6 tibial plateau fracture combined with compartment syndrome. Instead of calling the chopper and flying me to the Alfred Trauma Centre after reliving the compartment syndrome they thought they could fix it there.

I am still having issues and surgery (under another surgeon and at another hospital) 18 months down the track but I believe had they flown me to the Alfred this may not be the case
