(5 stars yes - Loved it? No one loves a hospital)
I am quite amazed by all the negative reviews here. I have nothing but praise from the moment I walked in (ER) to the moment I left the hospital. Unknown at the time but I was admitted for appendicitis.
Luckily I did arrive at a good time where it wasn't so busy yet (just after 5am) and I was promptly taken care of. I believe within the hour I was hooked up to an iv and pain meds.
Wait times were a bit long however, I expect this with any hospital in Canada. I come prepared for such wait times. It is something we are unfortunately accustomed to.
I was impressed by all the staff and how pleasant and happy everyone seemed to be working there or handling patients. Lots of young new blood which is nice to see (ER area).
Being transferred to a semi-private room later in the day, the RN's that were taking care of me were very attentive and pleasant to have around. They work hard and are very supportive to your needs. Thank you Elaine and Gerard and, to the rest of the staff that had to deal with my needs throughout my stay. Natalie Francoeur
