I was in Burnaby Hospital twice past summer for same injury - first visit was 4 days and quite unpleasant. I was then moved to RCH for surgery and then back to Burnaby Hospital. The second time I was back at Burnaby the nurses and care aides all made me feel like I was a princess. They were so kind, friendly, came quickly when I rang the bell. There seemed be nothing they wouldn't do to make me comfortable. They were simply fantastic and I will never forget their kindness. I met several doctors and all were very speedy in getting me the treatment they believed would be helpful. It was a positive experience for me.

Just a question. Why are the nurses and doctors at Burnaby Hospital Emergency so rude and dismissive…. I refuse to go there anymore, but still hear from friends it’s still the same. Is it a leadership issue… or a morale issue? Sad place.

This place is awful…..I got sick on the food so many times and after calling for a nurse over and over they left me in my own feces for over 6hrs. My blood pressure kept getting higher and I asked to see a Dr but was ignored until it hit 180…..went in there for a knee surgery and wound up with sepsis….they kept me there close to 4 months and I had one MD tell me when I asked when they were planning on letting me leave that I would be there “indefinately”. If I hadn’t screamed and complained I’d still be there. Avoid this place like the plague!

Call your liberal member of parliament..we all pay a s..t load of taxes. I was very ill in October went to burnaby hospital. Was there 6 hrs didn’t see the 1 doctor who was in emergency. I left went to a different hospital the doctor told me good thing you made it here?? Doctors need to go back to the office and more tech. and mri ct for imaging need to be hired.

Very sad situation. Broken medical system in Canada. There is not much human contact there. I was treated like a number. They wanted to do x ray twice. When I asked if something was wrong with the first one woman told me that I did not do it. Unorganized, dr is rushing, has no time to tell you what you need to know. Baby craving for hours in there. Elderly people were sitting in emergency room for 8 hours and I was lucky, just 6 hours. Humans should not be treated this way
