I was hit by a car 6 years ago. The EMS woman thought I was faking and said get up and get in the ambulance after I said I can't sit up. She then grabbed me under my anles and the other EMS under my arms. The lifted, my left leg spasmed and I screamed. I screamed because mu left knee and calf bone had been shattered. On arriving at the hospital she must have told triage that I was faking because they immediately said after the X-ray you can go haome,. I said are you crazy?. They then put me in a room with about 20 other injured people. I had now water for 5 hours and I was left on a gurney the foot of my injued leg dangling over the end. No one put a splint on it. I kept sliding down the gurney and when I tried to move myself back up my leg would spasm and I would cry out in pain. When I did that twice a nurse came over and said SHHH there are children here. I told her then get them out because it will happen anytime I move. When I had to go for my X-ray they lifted me onto the table almost the same way the EMS did. I then had to go for a different type of X-ray and I told them get the gurney to the height pof the table and don't touch me. I managed to shimmy over. When the surgeon showed up he said rhe first x-ray wasn't good enough so I had to have a second one done. After that he told me it's the worst damaged knee he has ever seen and had two nurses come and spling my knee. after that I was left in a hallway for 5 more hours until I got a room. Four days into my hospital stay and 3 days after my surgery a nurse tells me I have to leave or they will start charging me $5000/day.

My friend came with an burning sensation issue on his skin, waited for almost 4hours to see the doctor. Must take some initiative to strengthen the health service in Canada. Don't make the patients to wait for such a long time.
