Lennox & Addington County General Hospital

I want to give a special shout out to the team in the chemo unit. Trudy, Jordan, Ashley and Kayla are amazing nurses that show respect and compassion to all their patients. No matter how busy they are, they work as a team and support each other to provide the best care possible to their patients. Thank you for your amazing work. You all made a difficult time less so by your caring attitudes.

I have never been so disappointed in a medical facility as this one. Grandson went in a week ago today with hole in lung that had filled up his diaphragm with air had to have a chest tube placed to deal with it and required daily visits until they decided it needed surgery. Third visit they didn't do rebabdaging required nor the did they use required paste to stop air leaking. They placed it back too high on his chest to drain fluids as well. 8th day they saw him in morning and turned off the valve and wait 6hrs to see how he would make out. he sat in emergency for 9hrs until he had to leave or he had no way home. They called to ask why he left this morning lol. We got him back to hospital today only once again to sit and and sit and sit. I call get the brush she says tell him to go back to triage. Really and start from the bottom again. I tell her he's in a lit of pain and discomfort might as well have talked to a bucket of mud. He was 5th in line when he got there at 2pm it's now 8:30 pm and no change. Toatal indifference seems to be how they operate. He's getting worse the longer he sits. No one answering phones now. Time to write a letter to Ministry of Health and copy to the Hospital Admin. They will keep until it's to late to get him a ride home. But oh well.nSusan Leclaire

Came in April 24 2025 to emergency to get checked for a possible blood clot. Was checked in around 12:30 pm, seen dr approximately 6 hrs later. Then was told ultrasound technicians left at 3:30, and I have to come back the next day to get the ultrasound done. Had the ultrasound done the back to emergency for them to give me the results. 4& 1/2 hours later and I still haven’t seen anyone. I guess this is done so they can charge OHIP twice. Completely unacceptable.

Was such a better experience than what we had at KGH in Kingston. The nurses were much nicer, and more kind to us. It took less time to get in to see a doctor in the ER. We got there fairly early so it was roughly around a 2 hour wait altogether. The doctor was kind to us, got my grandfather the antibiotics he needed, and even lined him up with a doctor there for his many health problems he has. We are very grateful, as KGH wouldn't even see my grandfather, despite him waiting 8 hours in the ER. He could have lost his foot! But the doctor here got him everything he needed and his foot looks much better now!

Tbh one if not the worst the hospital I've ever been 2. Was checked in around 230 and never even had a chance to see a doctor i left at 1030pm. Had multiple people who checked in after me go through and their excuse was triage level. Mean while you have people limping and a kid running and playing the whole 8-9 hour wait getting in before me when I was rushed to the hospital last time for this same peoblem. Even told the nurse my symptoms were getting worse 2 times. They really don't seem like they care at all.
