Health Sciences North

Had a bad experience with alcohol and almost lost my life. I was told the paramedics were not focused on helping me and were more worried on where I was drinking rather than worrying about my health and life. I was unresponsive and they were rude and cocky, by rude I mean they treated me like They know who I am, and that I drink everyday and night. They were slapping, punching, and yelling at me. You need to teach them either worry about the patient or find a new job. I can not even breathe without a sharp pain in my chest due to them punching me. The people were telling them I have heart problems and they wouldn’t listen. I have an irregular heart beat and my mom told them, after they checked my blood pressure and they said I have an irregular heart beat after being told several times. Get new paramedics that actually care about the patient and treat them right. The two women were complete ass hats. Many of the things they did were very unnecessary. Also they were told I couldn’t walk and kept telling me to get up and walk and yelling at me while I was unresponsive. Would’ve rathered life loss than the pain the gave me to deal with. Not very nice or responsible paramedics. They need to listen to what people tell them. They aren’t very smart either. Also I feel they treated me very rudely because I am native and that’s racist. I drank once and they acted like I was a typical drunk native downtown.

Recently had an Angiogram done at this hospital. The hospital was very easy to navigate. And I was treated with the highest level of care by the nursing staff, the Angiography team and Dr. Brian Wong. The procedure was done very quickly and with no discomfort at all. I noticed the staff treated all the patients with friendly personal attention. Thank you all so much for doing what you do, and being so good at it. Your the best!

It was my first time going to the emergency. I even told the nurse it was my first time. The nurse that registered me was really rude and had a really bad attitude. I just want to say, please keep in mind that everyone has bad days and are going through rough times. So I kindly ask please be nice, you don't have to smile but at least be considerate towards people.

This hospital's ER is nearly always understaffed. Even when staffed MDs brush off patients. They missed gall stones on an ultrasound 6 different times. Then on the seventh an older MD noticed the stones on a ultrasound from our SECOND visit. How can this possibly be acceptable? Staff in the ER allow patients to jump lines if they complain even when patients who are quite sick are still in the waiting room. Next time i need an ER ill drive to northbay or down south to a more functional ER instead of waiting hours to be told a patient with gallstones is perfectly fine. Disappointing given how kind and friendly staff are.

Horrible experience having my baby here. I'd recommend doing it at home you have a better chance. This hospital called the cops and harrassed me over my handy cap sticker. They don't care about the people. Very nasty hospital not clean at all only clean spot is Tim hortens. They put my grand mother threw hell they told us we can't kill her but we can starve her to death and that's what they did she was supposed to pass in couple hours not 5 days after very gross place. I live in sudbury and now travel to kitchener for my appointment.
