Grace Hospital

Currently at Grace hospital. Only came because fiance was presenting with appendicitis type symptoms. Now going on 5 and a half hours without any sort of pain control. Haven't seen a nurse or doctor while in the back for 3 hours and counting but told it was acceptable. This is why women have higher mortality rates from things like heart attacks. And more burst appendices...we literally get told our pain is in our heads. This is not appendicitis but with a history including multiple ruptured cysts and a twisted ovary you'd think we might get SOME form of care. I can't give 0 stars or I would. Also interesting how the 5 star reviews are from men and any time a woman is dealing with them it's 1 star

Absolute horrible care. My father in law is once again discharged '2nd time' without homecare set up. Nor any confirmation -2 days now n pending! My father in law lives on his own (personal care home pending) has had 4 strokes in the past, has Diabetes t2, HTN, obese, could not do any ADLs (activity daily living) for himself and they do the same discharge style on to him once again this second time around! First admit was due to stroke- He called us in the middle of the night to call an ambulance for him- admit to Grace x1- They promised homecare setup post discharge yet it took them a whole month until XMAS day - that he crashed in our house during dinner! He was then rushed via ambulance to Grace hospital once again- this 2nd time was due to -as diagnosed, cellulitis! (Hence no one was around i.e. homecare- to watch over him for a whole month!). I work as an RN in er emerg at HSC and I've seen seen the 'horrible- nurse family complainer' once in a while in my 10 year experience. I hate having to deal with them im sorry- but this im worrisome with GH's decision for discharge! Hence we were patient with the 'whole month' that home care off of Grace Hospital did not get back to my father in law- we were 'understanding' with their MIX UP. BUT this second time without one setup boggles my mind! I have filed a complaint with patient relations and WRHA. I hope someone gets stuff straight and DO NOT WISH THIS onto anyone of your loved ones to happen to them- VERY UNSAFE diacharge I apologise to 'those who ARE NOT INVOLVED' ... My father in law was discharged from the 3rd floor ?north wing Grace hospital february 7th at 240pm. NO home care contact yet n counting. Its hard to attend to someone i.e. 5am call from him today that his Foley catheter bag leaked all over his bed and he is confused out of his mind trying to explain it to my flustered husband.

Went into the Grace this week end and was well treated . I realize there is always a wait period and it was not that long . I think it is suppose to work who ever is the sickest goes first . Pretty sure with me throwing up and to tired to walk, high blood pressure soaring and high blood sugar I was chosen for my condition . Thanks to all the staff at the grace for every thing they do ! From my family to yours

It would be a 5 🌟, but I hate waiting in the emergency room.
