I broke my wrist whilst out running. They were great at the main hospital in Almeria, I was x rayed and then put in plaster. But I am now a bit confused over what happens next next.The doctor at the main hospital says my wrist needs to be reviewed after ien days and mentioned a clinic in Almeria City but didn't write down the name and then on discharge the nurse told me to go to our local health centre in Sorbas for the review. I have now been told by some people they won't be able to deal with the fracture there. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Many thanks .

Get yourself a translator who will get all the correct information.

Pretty certain Maria (doc) at Sorbas cannot sort it, but she will refer you to the right place. She refuses to speak English, but is otherwise OK. So you might need translator to be safe

Hi thank you ..yes i think I saw Maria when I initially went in and she sent me to the hospital in Almeria for x ray. I have rudimentary Spanish so will take someone down with me who can help translate..do I need an appt to see her..bearing in mind last time I was taken through quite quickly as my wrist didn't look too good.

I believe you need an appointment (unless it is n urgency). You can pick your time on the salud responde app.
