I'm sure I had same staff at administration as person from Alberta. I went to this absolute dump of a hospital November 2019. The experience I had is very similar to most negative comments in here. For those of you who were treated like âfamilyâ well, too hard to believe. It wasn't the 8 hour wait I had , as I expected a long wait. The staff from admin to the nurses that evening were monsters!! The doctor was excellent and when I was finally able to leave, I had to remind the doctor there was a tube full of blood in my arm and so she said for me to go back into that side room (torture chamber) and she would get the nurse to take it out. She asked whatever her name was and I looked at the Doctor and said, âdon't you let that thing come near me. She will not touch me. â. The doctor saw how serious I was. I have never in my entire life been treated like less then a pile of s@it as was by this nurse and a dark skinned male nurse on duty that night. The doctor got me a different male nurse and I nearly burst into tears with relief that nurses still have compassion⦠he was a gem. The other two I hope are out of that place because for anyone to say they had such a great experience with the nurse staffâ¦.can't even believe it for a second. And to the incredibly rude woman behind that glass⦠get off your cell phone and work! Learn to respect clients/patients and not yell at them!! You didn't see me coming did ya?!? I yelled right back at you!! I called you out for the rude person you are!! Guess that's why the rest of my evening, unbeknownst to me was about to be hell. I told my husband when I returned home (15 mins by cab) if I should ever need ER again , I will NEVER EVER step foot in that hell hole again!! The cab driver told me this place is known as the worst and to go to Hawkesbury!!

I went to emergency with a kidney stone and in severe pain. Within 15 minutes I had been admitted, IV started, ultrasoound done, given analgesic. Within an hour, I had completed the entire workup including CT scan. I was discharged when my pain was bearable with enough medication to carry me til the morning and with perscriptions referrals and advice. I was so impressed and so grateful to the doctors and nurses. Even tho my stretcher was in the hallway the care was the best.

Oct 17, 2023. I’ve been several times to the LGH in the last 3 years for blood tests, Emergency Dept and recently to the Endoscopy Dept. All are run efficiently and very well organized. Employees are all very respectful. In the past, both my now-defunct mother and defunct- mother-in-law were treated with excellent care in the Emergency Dept. I am grateful to have this hospital nearby and thank everyone at the LGH for their service and respect given.

I went to the Lakeshore after I suspected I’d had a stroke. The person in the emergency room was very nice and kind and I was taken in right away. I was kept for 4 days and the nurses and doctors who saw me were very nice and professional. I have no complaints and I’m very grateful for the care I got, especially from the nurses in the emergency room.
