Hospital St. Vincent Zams

World Class Hospital, government funded Had serious ski accident I just checked out of your hospital, having spent 3 nights and been treated for ski accident by your trauma team. I was in room 309 and must say the view of the mountains was better than my hotel at Ischgl! Simply put the treatment by the Head Dr of Trauma and his team was exceptional and the support nursing staff, cleaners and food staff were exceptional, 11 out of 10 At all stages everything was made very clear and concise and I congratulate you on the standards achieved at every level. The UK NHS could learn a lot from this hospital. I am very happy I had my accident in Austria 🇦🇹! I also must thank the Innsbruck Airport disabled support meet & greet, two qualified young people meet all disabled people and look after you, again the UK can learn from Austria, as disabled service at airports in UK needs to learn from Austria

I was airlifted from the slope and delivered to this hospital. Fast and professional examination and diagnosis - I sustained 3 displaced fractures to my clavicle with over 2cm shortening/ overlap and the surgery was mandatory asap but not later than within 7-10 days. However, I was told that it could be performed back in the U.K. and discharged with mild painkillers (not even opioid pain killers!). Of course, those painkillers didn’t work and I was literally howling from extreme pain, so went back with the ambulance later…Next morning I was discharged owing to a “significant improvement”(!!!) and no capacity at the hospital to perform the surgery. So…I travelled back to the U.K. with multiple displaced and comminuted fractures, which was very traumatic and painful…and have to say…the NHS performed the surgery (plate and screws) within 2 days and even found the bed. If I ever knew that I would be effectively DENIED EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE IN AUSTRIA “owing to lack of capacity in the hospital”, I would have never gone skiing there. Absolutely appalling!
