I have recently suffered a traumatic even regarding my miscarried pregnancy. What I thought would be an emergent situation - left me with no answers, no compassion and I was dismissed. This ER should be ashamed of themselves.

I am told by the triage nurse that my matter is not urgent and so I should accept pain killers from her, wait or leave. I watched every one comes and goes. I am sitting here waiting for almost 7 hours now and still have no idea when will be my turn.

I am actively trying to have my medical record changed, so that EMS doesn't bring me here. I would rather die at home or on the way to Calgary/Chinook Regional Hospital before I'd go to MHRH for emergency "care".

All the staff including triage, registration, radiology, nurses and doctors were absolutely awesome. My son was in a lot of pain and they were excellent with him.

I am one of the neighbors of this facility For many years, For the first few years living he person in charge of ambulances would instruct their operators not to scream the sirens, In the neighboring blocks, Not so anymore. And I'm not sure How much they pay the maintenance people, But way too much, Put complaints in about the noise coming from the vents on the rooftop, Which were addressed immediately, Quiet for a couple weeks and then the noise, Is back, I don't work for maintenance at this facility, I shouldn't have to continually call and Direct their attention to the noise, Repair it, Replace it, Fix it.

The Med Hat Hospital ER has to be the worst I have ever seen. A few of the ER doctors are good, but there are some that are absolutely terrible. They are arrogant and stand around with the staff loudly cracking jokes, talking about golf and whatever else. This is an ER, not a bar!! Keep it down, people are sick! The ER is complacent, I would drive to any hospital, even if it’s 3 hours away, then deal with this one. What a joke! They sent a loved one home and said everything was fine, but they ended up having a perforated bowel. How do you guys miss something like that?!!! Unreal.

My 19 month old son went in with them know he was diagnosed positive with Covid the day before. Came back in next day with difficulty breathing and the ER doctor took more than 2 hours to show up and with a rude nurse. I wonder how many people this hospital has let die in their uncaring hands. If they didn’t want to care for people don’t pick the profession

I was recently in MHRH for over a week, and overall my experience was very good. I dealt with many nurses and specialists (diagnostics, blood services, etc.) and they were ALL friendly, quick to help and proactive – except one. I had one bad nurse on the night shift, but I count myself lucky. I must have dealt with 45-50 individuals there during my time, so ONE being a dud is pretty amazing. And many she was just having an off night, who knows?
The only problems I would even mention are more structural ones. For example, I’m rarely if ever cold. Even in winter I sleep with the window open a crack. I found it horribly cold in my ward, and I can’t be the only one because the poor nurses spend half their time handing out warm blankets to patients. Management should really look in to that, because nurses have a lot better things to do than hand out warm blankets. Also, the showers in my ward were very nice – a good size, with a built-in bench – BUT the temperature of the water fluctuated WILDLY. I’d try to get it just warmish, but every time it would go up and down, and sometimes be so hot that it could scald someone. This happened every time I had the shower, and I learned to be very careful of the water. I realize some of the hospital is older, but refitting it with basic things like water regulators wouldn’t be very hard.
Ultimately, NO visit to the hospital is nice. It’s not fun. But if you have to go in for treatment or a procedure, MHRH is the place to go. The staff are wonderful, the services are second to none, and you are treated like a human being – not just another number passing through.
Oh, one point more – just a minor thing, but small things can make a difference. The quality of the food put out is VERY good, for an institution. My only suggestion would be with breakfasts – it’s odd that you randomly get coffee or tea. Some people drink only one or the other, and some don’t (or can’t) drink either while in hospital. But you just get what you get – and this must lead to a great deal of waste, both of product and time. I suggest that when food services are coming around with breakfast, have a coffee and tea urn along with them. They can then ask patients which – if any – the patient would like. This wouldn’t NOT take more time than making a bunch of it in the kitchens, and sending it around randomly. It might save a good deal of time and money in the long run, and also adds a personalized touch to a persons breakfast which can make a big difference.

A few years ago I was brought in by ambulance after overdosing on sleeping pills. After talking to their crisis worker I was sent home. I told the worker I was âfineâ which was an obvious lie because no one who takes that many sleeping pills is âfineâ I had also been committed not long before thatâ¦and I had a history of suicide attempts and thoughts. not only did they release me instead of committing me, they also never called an emergency contact for me, they did not make sure I had a ride home or that I made it to my ride safely. I was in my pajamas and wandered the hospital in a daze until I found the exit. I then walked to the bus stop and got onto the bus and managed to make it home. This was in winter so I of course was freezing. Recently, I was brought into emergency because of convulsions and swelling at the base of my skull on one side. Despite the fact that I had convulsions while in the hospital and there still being swelling, I was sent home after tests and told the other tests would be done another time. The nurse that day left the door wide open when she walked out, knowing that I was still in my gown and needed to change. Incredibly disrespectful.

I recently had a total knee replacement done at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital Hip and Knee clinic. I traveled from Cochrane to get the work done which considerable reduced the wait time. The clinic is in a new section of the Hospital, the staff is great, efficient knowledgeable. Everything scheduled was on time and handle very professionally and this was during Covid. The shared room was a little sketchy bu the staff was top notch.Can’t rate this place highly enough.
