I used to be fine with the small town hospital vibe but my dad is in there right now with terminal cancer and they are making it really hard on my mom. Take your loved ones to Almonte, Ottawa, or Smiths Falls. Anywhere but here. Please.

Showed up at around 10:30pm in emerge, I asked the lady in emerge roughly how long the wait was. Wanting to know if I would be there until the next morning or just an hour or two. She repeatedly told me to just “go stand in the hallway” and was very rude. Which is quite unfortunate as it is nurses/doctors like that who ruin other nurses/doctors ‘reputations’, such as my mother.

Family member went to emergency with a swollen, yellow abdomen and severe pain. Doctor said it was a sign of constipation (??!!) and to go home. He went back and was told the same thing. Unsatisfied, he called another doctor who knew right away (over the phone) it was his appendix and his body was in septic shock. Was in another hospital for weeks. He could have died because the doctor did not do his job.
