Turned away after fall outside surgery doors

I am hoping that by sharing this experience, someone will take responsibility and reflect on how my elderly grandfather was treated. He experienced a significant fall just outside the surgery. A compassionate stranger who was nearby came to his assistance, helped him to his feet, provided a tissue, and accompanied him into the surgery where he had just attended. He requested basic assistance to clean up his injuries, which included facial grazes, bruising around his eye, injured ribs, and debris from the fall. Rather than offering first aid support, the surgery directed him to attend a walk-in centre located a short drive away. He was not seeking a formal appointment, merely some basic wound cleaning, first aid supplies, and perhaps a moment to recover from the shock of his fall. A small gesture of compassion would have made a significant difference. My grandfather remains active and independent at his age, and felt let down by being turned away when he needed minimal support following an accident that occurred on the surgery's premises. I would like to extend my gratitude to the kind woman who helped him during this difficult moment. Her care and consideration meant a great deal to him. The surgery's response fell short of what we would have hoped for in these circumstances.
