This is 1 of the better hospitals in Edmonton & it's a joke! Wait time on a weekday in the Emerg is on average 8 hours! Why bother calling it an “Emergency” might as well call it a “wait & see.” Cause that's exactly what it is! 8 hour wait on AHS? Really? Then they complain & want a raise? Give me a break! Where else do you wait this long? In all other countries the wait time is not even 1/8th as long! This is Canada! What a joke! The chairs in the waiting room are likely to end up causing you to return back to a health care physician. Try spending 8 hours in 1 of these crappy chairs. If this is the wait time now, and Canada wants to bring in 500,000 immigrants every year - I hate to see how deplorable this country will become from a health perspective in 1 or even 2 years time. Where's the health minister? When's the last time 1 of those imbeciles sat in their own health care facilities to see 1st hand what it's like? Mid way through writing this I asked the nurse at triage what the wait time is. All I was told was “we have people here who've been waiting 8 hours. So use that as a gauge.” I asked if we could then leave and come back in 4 hours and he said, “no. We'll take you off the list if that's the case, cause we're somewhat responsible for you when you're here.” Lol what a joke. Responsible for patience? They're literally doing nothing but sitting behind the desk and every 4 hours taking vitals! Ridiculous!
