The worst experience in my life was in the outdated emergency room . It appears each time I had to use this hospital fro health issues it appears it caters to drug addicts and street people. Recently with severe abdominal pain I waited from 9:30 pm and left at 2:30 am being entertained by overdosed people within 5 feet of each one with no privacy. I could hear what every person was there for their blood pressure readings and what medical staff conversed with each person. No privacy. I've only managed to see a dr in 2 out of 5 visits this one being the worst encounter in my life. What Dr would even want to work in these condtions? The intake staff were pleasant . The hospital is so outdated The government should be ashamed of the facility called the emergency sept of a hospital in the provinces capital. I guess coming from another province and comparing the conditions here . I must of been privledge . I will never go back. I wish the media would reach out to me. The hospital in Cuba or other third world countries are comparable to this emergency department .. In this day and age with technology and money the government has been given for health care.. it's embarrassing.

So I was informed tonight that my Father was taken by ambulance to the emergency as he was in so much pain that he couldn’t walk, gets there nurses assess him not a Doctor put him in a wheelchair and set him in the waiting room. The ambulance was called at 4am my Father sat there in pain until after 7pm tonight before he said F this place and had his wife take him home. Now how in the hell does this happen arrive in a ambulance and not be seen by a doctor for over 12 hours absolutely disgusting, what the hell is going on there do they want people to die in the waiting room!

The operators are stern and act like they would rather be somewhere else than answer your questions. I have had horrible experiences in accessing healthcare in Canada, but Fredericton is by far the worse. I have been trying to get a referral to an OBY/GYN for some time now. The evisitnb website said I need an in-person assessment. I do not have a family doctor to get a referral and walk-in clinics are always full. I call the hospital for suggestions but the operators show no empathy and rarely ever give info that is useful. What is the point of supposedly free health care when you can barely access it. The system here is beyond ridiculous. What a shame!

Terrible place, both my roomates tested positive for Covid, I was having severe anxiety and some health issues, and they told me it would be a 12-15 hour long wait, while it didn’t seem busy at all, there were maybe 8 people in there all night, the service there is absurd and for people coming in there who actually need medical attention just go to Oromocto, they’re compassionate there & you’ll be seen very fast.

Stayed for about a week on two different floors – cleanliness is an issue . One patient affected 3 others as the bathroom was their personal dumping ground. This was never resolved – two patients had to walk the ward to a public washroom the other was catheterized. It was disgusting. Dr Theriault – hope you do not get herâ¦bed side manner was awful. It was all about beds patients be damned. Nurses we as awesome as they could be based on the above.
