Truth be told I've been to this hospital two times, and both times, I never received care for anything. I waited over 8+ hours in triage and only was ever able to speak to a nurse, I never even saw a doctor inside the hospital let alone had one come and look at any charts etc. Our healthcare is so abysmal I would rather just sit in pain and go see a private clinic than try and even receive support from our so called healthcare system. It's collapsed from within. I would recommend avoiding this hospital at ALL costs if you are dealing with more minor issues such as infections from dental procedures or sprains/fractures. You will not be given care and you will be treated like a nuisance. It's really sad to see the state of our system in 2024 in British Columbia. I feel as there is no hope.

The intake worker, female, at x-ray in VJH, was very rude and disrespectful. She sent the xray requisition to a walk-in clinic, stating, non-urgent. She is not a doctor and has no authority to diagnosis patients. This was September 26, 2022 at 8 am. We realize the staff have been stretched to the limit at times, however if you don’t want to deal with people, find another job. This intake/staff worker should be given a course in people skills.

i presented with biliary colic 3 times. no ultrasound. later, after a req from my family md, ultrasound revealed 1.6cm gall stone root cause.
consider for a moment what it means for an emergency department to not know how to diagnose a gall stone. then, consider going somewhere else for your health concerns where your symptoms will be taken seriously, and diagnosed accurately.

Have always been treated with respect at this hospital.

Very unprofessional at times. Do not feel safe going here alone during covid. All the more chance for the doctors and nurses to be bullies. Treat people how you want to be treated. One day you will have to answer to the big man.
