My husband was having a cardiac emergency at this hospital and was left alone without being checked on for 3 hours. This could have very easily been a fatal example of gross negligence. Horrifying night for his family waiting at home, while he was ignored and then treated like pure garbage by the nurses. Embarrassing medical facility for our valley

Unfortunately unable to handle people in emerg. Staff is smiley but rude comments. Lecturing the whole time on wasting tax payers money. I only come to emerg when I feel it’s an emergency, and yes it is My taxpayer money that is paying. Going to the city after this for medical attention.

How is it possible that it takes 5 hours for maybe 8 people in emerg., not accidents. In the city there would have been probably 100 people seen in that amount of time. What is going on???? If you have an emergency might be worth the while to go to Calgary

If you find out a doc from DAP is working, you’re better off to drive to Calgary. Don’t take a chance with your health or the health of your loved ones.

A small number of Dr’s here are questionable so they often give Drumheller physicians a bad name but in my experience as I have been to a few hospitals across the world I feel we are fortunate to have such a clean, caring facility.

I have been to this hospital several times between myself and family members and every time we go we wish we would of taken the 1.5 hour drive to Calgary, it seems as though the doctors in drumheller know nothing as they Google your symptoms and come up with a diagnosis that is later proven false by another doctor elsewhere. I recently went to the clinic where the doctor there told me to go to emerg at the hospital where I quickly had blood taken and x rays… 4.5 hours later the doctor finally arrived at the hospital.. And told me I was fine and sent me home.. During that 4.5 hours not one nurse came to check on me or gave me anything to manage my pain.. Sent home with no diagnosis or medication my family and myself went to Calgary where I had an emergency appendectomy… High five drumheller! To all famililies visiting drumheller this summer do yourself a favour and don’t go to this hospital!
