You are better off guessing what is wrong with you yourself. 99% of my experiences at this hospital were always absurd wait times, both triage nurses and doctors rushing me out and cutting me off while also being rude, and being dismissed. Almost all doctors are extremely condescending, and have no interest in treating you. Whatever they say is extremely vague, and whatever they say regarding your health is no different from the words of your average joe who does not know much. At this point, all they do is hope for the best and provide guesswork. Absolute joke of a hospital, and the majority of workers there should be ashamed of themselves. If I could give the services a 0/5, I would.

Sloppy
Poor bedside manner
Weird smell
Verbal slurs / ques to patients that think they dont know better.
Extremely long wait times
Problematic gossip among nurses
Wrong diagnosis
Lacking technology
The best you get is an x ray or prescription , yikes.
Different behavior towards those mentally struggling ( As if the system already is a loss for those in need )
Extreme long wait times. When patients start speaking up , attitude is given
Ive seen elderly fall in the floor from waiting and constantly trying to get emerges attention.
Youre better off driving to CB to see some real professionals , youre gonna be waiting at that sham of a place anyways.

the rudest staff i have ever encountered, the ER staff need an overhaul, spoke to a manager and they agreed that the staff are sloppy useless but said she could not do anything about it (union rules) but you know the managers do not have the guts to do their job in a small town where they all party together on the weekends.,.

You can be in acute pain and have been to emergency more than once regarding the same symptoms or the same issues, and their âgo toâ is a shot of morphine and an x-ray. Their protocols need to change and doctors needs to take patients more seriously. If they are not sure of the problem, research it, ask a colleague for their advice and find the problem! They have a CT scan machine there. Use it! Listen to the paramedics and listen to the patient. A lot of people get sent home and end up very ill, incurable, or die. This hospital needs more surgeons and gynaecologists working there so more surgeries can can be performed and women can deliver their babies. A lot needs to change including the people on the board of western health!

Rude staff from the Nurses to the Doctors. To start the Nurses think they are all that! These people live in a dream world where they believe that they are way above any patients or visitors that they encounter! Awful how horrible they treat people who look to them for support and help while in crisis! Not surprising because the Doctors down there are exactly the same if not worse. When my Mother was there in stage 4 of COPD I asked to talk to her Doctor and was ignored for the first week I was visiting her. Finally, I asked a Nurse if I could talk with him and she pointed to the main desk and said he’s there. I politely introduced myself, told him I was from out of Province and would like an update on my Mother’s condition. He barely lifted his head and responded with I’m busy. Totally ignored me and walked away! I truly have never experienced such unprofessional service anywhere in my entire life. Someone needs to investigate this excuse of a Hospital and clean house! Narssicists like those that I encountered at STRH would be fired anywhere else in Canada!

I was treated here on Oct. 30th. through and I have nothing but good things to say about this hospital and the staff. I found the staff friendly and efficient. No complaints whatso ever. Thank you for the excellent care I received.
