I had a motorbike accident and was in the main hospital for 4 days, where I was told that I had broken my collarbone, requiring a plate, as well as my wrists in 2 places, requiring to open up and put cables in. I also had a hole in my knee, through which you could see the kneecap!
I discharged myself and went to Welcare, where I was in Dr. Dandawate's care. He indeed put the plate on my collarbone, but said that the wrist only had one fracture and that I only needed a cast for a month. A few weeks later I was fully functional again, without the requirement of cables in my arm. :o)
Dr. Dandawate was very soft but straight, and a real delight to be treated by. I very much appreciated his recommendations, and just over a year later I removed the plate/screws for my collarbone (as he did inform me that although I could leave it on for life, if I had another fall, the bits of bone in between the screws could fraction in smaller pieces vs. a probable cleaner break if the bone is alone). I have been recommending him to everyone I know and I'm glad that this website can follow him irrelevant of where he works. Thank you so much again.
