I have gone there and the nurse in “triage” took information regarding difficulty and breathing, chest pain, and profuse sweating. I have a history of a heart attack initially treated at that hospital and an open heart surgery when I was transported by ambulance to the health sciences.
The first time I waited outside with the others who just called and With me waited for hours. I waited from 10 o’clock in the morning until 5 o’clock. I am also Diabetic and they know that I have to take my medicine and eat properly. Shortly before five they said before an x-ray. Even the technician was amazed that I had to wait so long to get an x-ray Given my condition. I could not stay past suppertime so I left and got a car home.
A few days after I returned this time following the triage, a A technician with a mobile Heart EKG machine took readings As I lay in a stretcher in the cast room. She advised the nurse in Charge that I stay there. So they left me in the cast room and And One Nurse brought me water because I was dehydrated And my clothing was soaked in sweat two hours after I got up and went to the door, And I waited for the nurse in charge with her entourage who approached me and I asked More before I saw a doctor. She said what are you doing standing up here in the doorway. Said I’m going to the bathroom. She said you treat us with respect and she put her face up to my. Face and spit the words at me. I told her that I treated all people respect.
She just left With the others and went into the back and I heard the nurse say to the head I guess we rearrange our triage schedule.
I waited another two hours, four hours in all in the cast room With others just going back-and-forth with normal activity and then they had take out and laughed in the back. The security guy who was there watching on monitor joined them.
After two hours I left I had been in cast room 4 hours and those blocked in the waiting room, who had not moved in all that time. When I came out they looked at me and said nobody has been taken in since.
The dr on duty was praised when he first came here. The nurse in charge goes with patients being transferred to corner Brook Hospital. She also prepared and roughed me up as I was prepared in icu when I had heart attack years before. At that time, she was demanding that I let someone into my home and speaking loudly and aggressively as she prepared me for icu bed.
When I was leaving ICU weeks later she gave me instructions on putting on and wearing my heart monitor apparatus. She told me that she I took off monitor to shower in mornings there was no need to notify icu.
This went well for over a week until another nurse was on icu monitoring. She came running as I removed the monitor wires and on entering started to shake me and berate me for not following instructions. When I started to report my treatment to the head nurse who was with a doctor discharging a patient across the hall from me., this head nurse from icu who gave me wrong instructions and the nurse who was angrily shaking me for not telling icu first pushed me back in my room and would not let me tell the nurse that had been with the happenings.
I was brought to an office of a secondary services manager and the nurses claimed that I would not follow their instructions. It was my fault.
I saw this very bite with protruding eyes on duty deciding who was going to see a doctor.
Only friends and relatives of those working the hospital get into emergency.
