My son hurt his leg, I took him to Málaga hospital on Saturday and they x-rayed and drained the swelling and told me to go to Torremolinos hospital where they specialise in injuries - he has (according to the consultant) a very nasty torn ligament in his knee. They've bandaged it up, told us to get crutches, medication and to make an appointment for three weeks time for an MRI scan and a possible operation. I went to the appointment desk, but they refused to do anything without a social security number. We dont have one. My children dont even have NIE numbers, cos at the time they were included on mine, but apparently not anymore???????
I'm on the brink of sending my son back to the UK to get this sorted - any ideas please. I'm feeling quite desperate. What made it worse is that I didnt have an enterpreter with me and the doctor gave me a telling off, cos he wanted to talk about my sons knee in depth - I understood that the hospital in Torremolinos had them, but they didnt
