one of the most horrible hospitals in canada right there

ER should not be used for minor things which family Dr.s can handle in their offices. The wait times are unacceptable because of this for those who need help. ER means Emergency......why does the BGH not turn away those who are not an emergency....and tell them to call their family Dr.s or be prepared to sit for 8 hours as they are not considered an EMERGENCY I am sure they would leave and quickly........solving everyones problem with the wait. I have never experienced such horrible service at any other hospital and have had my share of bgh and other hospitals.

Worst service in any hospital ever, the nurses have no sense of urgency to the patients that actually need it and cateer to the patients that don't need urgent help. I'd rather drive the half hour to mcmaster just so I don't have to deal with them.

If you love your family, take them to Hamilton or Woodstock ER if you can. My son is a victim of a lack of due diligence, sloppy prognosis, and mistakes in testing, resulting in unnecessary surgery, weeks of unexplained pain, and more than 6 weeks into the ordeal still without resolution. EVERYBODY I know has a horror story themselves or someone close to him/her. They sent a friend of mine home with tylenol FOR A STROKE - thank God he got to his doctor right away who sent him to Hamilton.

Nurses seem like crabs and could careless for patients wellbeing. Good luck to the sick that come here. Better care in a Mexican hospital then here.
