Jewish General Hospital Emergency Department

I came because I had serious issues on my side potentially thinking I have an issue with my appendix, I came and initially was fairly quick and reasonable and the initial nurse was pretty nice and told me hey it might take a while which I appreciated but once they put me in a room I waited 2 hours…..going on 3….nnI asked the front nurse “hey any results on my blood test ?”and they reply “they will come when they come”…. You know I get it’s Christmas Eve and are probably swamped but you could be polite and say unfortunately no news so sorry we’re experiencing a high number of patients it’s gonna be a while or even hey currently we see no serious issues but we’ll get back to you soon SOMETHING BUT NO ATTITUDE.nnI tell him can I just leave he reply’s it’s almost done, your here anyways just wait …apparently I would know that while no one comes to see me …… I can clearly read minds ….nChitchat at work is normal but YOU HELP SICK PEOPLE DO YOU JOB THEN CHAT!! people come here to get better !!not hear about what you ate for lunch or who screwing who … while dying or having physical issues.nnAdditionally the room was dirty old covers on the bed, dirty/makeshift robe come on now I get its holidays but this is just ridiculous.nnMake more sense to be at deaths door then to come here at this point ..nnWhat sucks is there are good doctors and nurses that want to do their job well and efficiently but the bad ones out weight the good ones by a long shot.nI give me respects to the ones that try and want to make a difference.nnPS still in pain no one asked if I’m okay nor came to say anything welp who’s cares I guess …..

I hurt my leg and I needed stitches for that, so I went to the ER and they made me wait for 11 hours! I arrived there at 9:30PM and left at 8:30AM.nAt 2AM we were only six people in the waiting room left and they only called us around 6:45AM, I really don't understand why it took them so long to call other patients in? Then, after they called me I had to stay over 1 hour in the consult room to get a doctor to see me. The doctor was very nice though, but the organization was awful.nAnd, the WORST part? The consult room was disgusting. There was so much dirt, even a cleaning machine and blood from other patients that was on the table where they put the things to cure me... I am very very disappointed with this. I have attached pictures. The very least you can ask for a hospital is for it to be clean.

First time here! Good emergency hospital in Montreal. Yes wait times are long 4-5 hours but better than other places, stay patient & communicate clearly what you need, they will go above & beyond to make sure you get the best service & care possible. The only things that some of the stuff not professional in communication and not clear what they do!

The wait was long, but well worth it. The staff is caring and kind. Best hospital in Montreal. Just remember: it is not the hospital, but the system that is broken. The staff at the JGH is exemplary. I am forever grateful - thank you Dr. Eli Segal working the emergency department last night. Brilliant, calm, straight to the point, easy to understand - and most importantly, cured me.

Super slow ...rude manner less nurses... nobody wants to help too busy chit chatting....and gets annoyed when asked questions.....showed up at 6 in the morning for emergency and spent the whole day waiting..... although the er was practically empty.nnBullshit bureaucracy and incompetency ....... horrible experience! At this point you're better off dying rather than going to the emergency and wait to die!
