Visit to ER took a few hours, but that certainly wasn't their fault. The more people that come in the longer the wait is. With government cutbacks what can you expect. Nurses and doctors are runoff their feet with serving so many. Ladies/nurses were kind and to the point. The nurse that carried out the doctors orders was very efficient, thorough and instructions were clearly given. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name. The building itself was finished in 1992, so maybe that's why people think it's dirty. High traffic areas don't last forever. Maybe just more grace is needed.!

had the displeasure of dealing with a female psychiatrist. (paid to care network) long story but i was brought in by police for medical help not for being a criminal, but the psych walks in the room swearing like im some kind of criminal and thats how this unprofessional tries to relate to me and i dont even sware. instead of getting the medical help i need she black mailed me with the threat of being locked up againsed my will. beware when dealing with this unprofessional.

if you want to be mistreated wrongfully diagnosed and given things you are allergic to and then ignored while you are having an allergic reaction to their medication and be given nothing to treat allergy then come here. and they have no idea what they are doing or what they are giving you, and give you medications that react with each other they don’t even know what they are talking about most of the time and make stuff up, and will tell you that you are wrong even if you are right. and if you tell them that they are wrong, even if you have proof they will storm off and ignore you. and when you tell them about the severe allergic reaction symptoms like swelling of the face and throat and difficulty breathing they tell you that that is normal and refuse get a doctor or do there job and sit there and chat and think it is funny. and if you tell them you are allergic to something they give you the same thing but a different compound and lie to you about what it is. so you can have an allergic reaction. and when you return because you are having an “allergic reaction” they will do nothing. all the staff are rude and dont listen to patients. will exclude symptoms make stuff up and lie and say you said things you never said or change what you said to fit their diagnosis and put it on your medical file. they wont give you any tests to find out what is wrong with you they will just assume things without any evidence. then if you go to different doctor to try to have it cleared up they will look up the fabricated nonsense and wont listen to you and will just go by what the hospital said even though most of it is lies. if you contact Alberta health they will just give them a slap on the wrist and let them get away with it, and wont remove the lies from your medical file. they will just say they dont have the authority to do so. and it wont matter how many other doctors you go to, to try to have something done about it they will do nothing and not take you seriously, or give you any tests to verify what you are saying. because another quacks opinion matters more than yours even if they are lying. and also I witnessed my friend get chocked by a doctor at this hospital and lifted off the ground while he was still a minor because he talked back to the doctor when he would not give him any pain killers for his neck injury, while he was wearing a neck brace and in front of his mother. then they did nothing about it and made him leave the hospital untreated. and the police would not charge the doctor for assaulting him because in would quote “ruin his career”. also a family member who lives in long term care at this hospital who can no longer speak because of his illness and is in a wheel chair, had his knee broken at this hospital by the staff. then they ignored his cries of pain for three days and gave him nothing for pain, and didn’t do anything about it until his knee tripled in size and a family member that went in to visit and had to demand that they x-ray it. and no one was admitted to breaking his knee, and nobody was held accountable or punished. and the same family member is forced to wear a diaper and is left sitting urine and fecal matter all day, even though he is capable of using the toilet but requires help to do so because they are to lazy to help him. and they forget to feed him half the time because he can’t speak and is unable to complain. also they let thieves walk into his room and pry open his locked cabinet and steal all of his cds dvds ipod and other valuables, they even walked out with another patients television, and nobody stopped them or even noticed and this was in broad daylight. and the staff constantly break or steal his belongings regularly. this hospital also killed my uncle because they were negligent, they were told that he had a heart attack from changing out the engine in his truck in one day many times but didn’t listen and treated him for pneumonia and kept doing so even when he had no blood pressure and let him die of a massive heart attack. they also killed my grandmother, she went in because she didn’t feel well and was short of breath, and they said it was minor and would discharge her in the morning. and she died of a heart attack over night. I personally have been hospitalized twice at this hospital, once for a surgery and during those two visits they almost killed me three times and left me with medical problems after the terrible job on the surgery. and while I’ve been their I’ve over heard them making fun of patients in the hallway. and they are so unintelligent they think no one can hear them… they will also make you wait for 2-3 hours to see a doctor when the waiting room is empty while they all chat. and it doesn’t matter how many times they are reported by multiple people, no one is held accountable no one is penalised and no one is fired nothing will be done about it and no one cares. and on another note there are many many things I am leaving out. ran out of room

the nursing staff in emergency are very rude and have no bed side manners at all they offer no help. ive been in there several times because of pain I would say 20 times in 6 years.and out of 20 times I was never asked if I needed wheel chair (dizzy) to go to xray or a blanket (had no fever). I went in for chest pain short of breath and dizzy,they had me in waiting room for an hour how do they know I wasn’t having a heart attack???? people don’t go to ER just because they are bored or to sit there for hours an hours they go because they are in PAIN and need HELP. And the NURSING staff are no help at all. ALL people who vist the ER should be asked do u need assistance to get undressed? or do you need wheel chair assistance? do u need assistance to go to washroom?would u like a warm blanket? im in the medical field and I know there is more to nursing then just handing out meds.
