East Kootenay Regional Hospital

Very scary experience, my boyfriend suffered a deep wouund to his torso, this hospital stapled him up and released him 3 days later without any pain medication. We drove to a Calgary hospital a few days later because the bruising had spread, the wound was very red and the pain was getting worse. Ended up spending 10 days in the trauma center due to a liver bile leak that had gone untreated, and infections caused by stapeling up this type of wound in the first place. According to the trauma doctors, he should have been taken to Calgary immediately due to the severity of his wound.

This has to be the worst hospital in BC the nurses are miserable and the doctors are prescription happy idiots. They would rather through a bunch of drugs at you instead of actually trying to find the cause.

I have been battling several issues over the last year and I would have been dead long time ago if it wasn't for the dr and nurses who are there the drs do everything they can to do acurrate diagnoses and cures and 90% of the nurses are sooooo very patient and loving and really make me feel that everything is going to be ok when I think I'm not going home to my kids .GOD BLESS all of them for that .and I also heat how they treat others with such kindness .one man came in and was with drawing from alcohol the drs and nurses handled this man with care and understanding and no judgement after careing for immediate medical needs .a nurses stood beside him for hours with a machine to suck out the vomit while he was sadadated so he wouldn't choke to death and die .and so many other stories I have witnessed that just melted my heart for these people.only once I had a dr lady tell me I couldn't breathe because my "big ol' gut was pushing up on my lungs" and to go home and loose weight.i then when back the next day and got the rite professional ansewr from a smart educated non discriminating dr.which is ANY one else.God bless the entire staff and I hope some clinics with nurse practitioners or somethings opens soon so people don't always have to use/abuse er services.its not fair and it's not rite.and they need a miracle.
