I wasn't around when it happened. She had bruising in the knees with slight bleeding but her left hand hit the road. She said possible fracture in the small finger. There was a small pharmacy nearby, and even they didn't have the bandages we wanted, the basic ones were there. I bandaged her hand and thought that when we arrive in Christchurch the next day could do an x-ray.In Christchurch we passed the Riccarton Medical centre, which is a Private outfit, and when we went there we were advised that they have an emergency centre nearby with imaging facilities.  Drove into there, had a talk with the reception and they said there's a 4 hour wait. All I wanted was only an x-ray even unreported. But as I know it needs a referral from a local doctor. The girl at the reception told me, you better return tomorrow before 8AM. I went in there today at 7.40 AM, there's a queue of about 30 people down to the road. So made a U-turn and came back to the hotel. I will see what can be done in Wellington. She has her batchmates who are GP's over there.</blockquote>
