Incredibly hit and miss. I've had many wonderful nurses and the several genuinely caring and effective doctors, and, when push came to shove, the ER staff have probably kept me from dying more than once. BUT the lack of professionalism is terrifying, as is the lack of up-to-date diagnostic and treatment options, and the only way I'd let them call the shots in the event of a serious health crisis is if there were no chance I could make it to the big city without dying on the way. I've had ER nurses refer to me using vulgar nicknames derived from my diagnosis. I've had doctors argue with each other about the appropriate course of treatment right in front of me. I've dealt with doctors who blamed other people for leadership and communication issues they were most definitely responsible for. I've been woken up for invasive procedures that nobody bothered to tell me about or get consent for. And speaking of which, what kind of hospital wakes inpatients up at 5 a.m.? Did someone forget to mention to them that sleep is vital to good health? TBRHSC calls itself a patient-centred hospital but, unfortunately, it does not appear to have any idea what that phrase actually means.
