Review of North York General

I have only good things to say about my experience...

I have only good things to say about my experience at the hospital. I came in around 10 pm and although the emerg was busy a nurse quickly recognized the pain I was in. I said I think I have a bad bladder infection. She sort of laughed and said she thought I was passing a kidney stone. They had me in a bed promptly and gave me pain meds. It was kidney stones. I had only heard of men having them. I felt better after a while but they wanted me to stay and have a scan. We compromised and I went home for 9 hrs and came back. They made arrangements and were waiting for me at noon. I had my scan and was out of there in 20 minutes!! Likewise for another scan they asked me to come in at 9 pm to see if I had passed the other 3 stones. I got there a bit early and was back home by 9.20 pm so much my son asked if I had gone yet!. They also got a heated blanket for me when I was cold and moved me to a quieter part of the ER. I would definitely return to the hospital. Several friends have also had good outcomes.
