The triage nurse - emergency, was incredibly rude. Although, my family physician provided with an envelope advising the urgency of my case, the nurse stated that all doctors send people to the hospital for anything. My BP was 230 and with symptoms of stroke. After 13 hours, with no medication and truly no care, I was told to go home and take my medication. I was referred to the Stroke prevention Clinic because I did have stroke indeed. The nurses, for the most part are incredibly rude, unprofessional and uncaring. You may find one or two that are kind but because it is so rare, you truly remember their names ( Irene!& Maria). I have a theory about this, the nurses are truly in control and the power goes to their head, there is no supervision, and only one doctor that becomes overwhelmed. The funding is less and they are not happy with their job. However, when I went to the Stroke Clinic, Dr. Disai was very good at explaining my situation, knowledgeable, caring, and the personnel there changed my opinion about the place.
