I was admitted to the hospital on Sept. 26th, 2014 in the emergency dept., I had a heart attack. The care I received from the time the ambulance arrived, the emergency dept., heart procedure, then on to the cardiac care unit, and then discharged 4 days later. The care and compassion I received from ambulance staff, E.R. staff and doctors, heart procedure - Doctor and staff, Cardiac Care Unit, Doctors and staff was excellent, I have nothing but praise for all these people. How lucky I am to be living in a country that I would automatically get this care, how lucky we all are, we should never complain.
There caring and medical expertise saved my son`s life two weeks ago. I can`t thank them enough for what they did. Shawn and his wife have 5 beautifull children and they would be lost without him. Thanks to all the doctors and nurses that worked so hard to save his life,and continue to care for him. thank you
Every time I have to go to this hospital or take someone else here, I cringe at the thought. I understand that they are terribly understaffed but the complete lack of consideration from the doctors and some nurses is unnerving. Many times I have just been looked at and told what illness I had; no tests, x-rays, or blood was taken. I'm sorry but you are not psychic. Do your jobs! I almost always have to go somewhere else to get a second opinion and when I do, the new doctors just shake their head in disbelief at the diagnosis given by the previous doctor. There have also been some instances where there misdiagnosis has been life threatening. My now ex and I always agreed that in Canada, we may have free healthcare but you get exactly what you pay for......absolutely nothing!
Took 30 minutes to be triaged (national goal is less than 5 minutes of arrival), then took an additional hour just to be registered and put in the queue. Staff very apathetic. Not enough chairs for the amount of people waiting. No measures taken to try to isolate those with the flu from those who did not have symptoms.
Awesome
