Fell over and injured my head outside the practice...
Fell over and injured my head outside the practice today and walked in. Receptionist was on the phone, didn't look up. Because I'm polite I wait for her to finish the call. Asked her if she had a first aid kit. Said she didn't have one! Not even a bandaid. What kind of building, let alone medical facility DOESN'T HAVE A FIRST AID KIT?? I was able to use the toilet to wash out the wound came back and asked again, she still didn't have a bandaid but said I need to go see a doctor. I just left, luckily the Newsagency down the road was kind and gave me two free bandaids. I'm very disappointed in the receptionist. Unacceptable for a medical facility!
I knew it! Under division 3 of the model work health and safety regulations released by safe work Australia, all persons undertaking a business must ensure a first aid kit is provided and have members trained in first aid. You better get a kit before anything worse happens.
