Im sharing this as I wait in the emergency room in case I don’t remember later. There are over 12 people in the emergency room since I got here with my husband who’s catch some kind of mean virus at the gym, or so it seems; Anyhow we arrived at 6:30pm clearly stating how bad he is feeling, it’s 9:25pm and we are still waiting for someone to receive him, hopefully! And praying he’s not just prescribed dome Tylenol as we showed the nurse who took his symptoms in triage that he is already taking that. I went to advise the receptionist about this as it is well advertised in the emergency room “VERY IMPORTANT: if your condition worsens during your wait, please notify the triage nurse OR have someone do this for you” which I did for my husband, her response was “sure I’ll have them know” hours passed and nothing happened! Meanwhile here we are 3:30 hours later with just the hope to be outta here with a prescription that will help my husband feel better. This breaks my heart, because I can’t do anything ! And apparently this is the only way to get medical help in Sussex area! It’s dark outside already and we haven’t eaten anything, or drank anything, because if they miss you while they are calling your name it’s your loss!
Canada is a first world country but in medical terms it might just be one of the worst! If you must come here to this clinic in Sussex bring a snack, water, a blanket ! You will be here for long hours! I know and I’ve heard and have been informed that it’s worse elsewhere like in Fredericton! However, it’s average same in Canada!! we are all people here! and need medical attention, what’s happening with the higher hierarchies! System is collapsed! So sad!
