What can I say about RVH, USELESS! My brother was brought in for a threat to himself by police and even after me calling and explaining his situation they let him out in about 12 hours. Told them that if they didn't evaluate him he may follow through with it the next time. With the lack of help from them my brother took his life 2 1/2 weeks later. RVH is quickly developing a reputation for you go there to die or will be helped in that direction! What ever you do RVH don't start up or get involved in mental health issues for sure because you fail big time!! How do you let someone out in 12 hours that was brought in by police with a rope and a family member tells you about the situation!! Because he tells you he is just having an off day and he's fine! Are you educated, trained professionals or just trained idiots that don't care! Hope this never happens to any of your family members because then you will feel the pain and disappointment my family is going through. You guys should pack up and maybe turn RVH into a grocery shop, you may be good at that! Packing things up and sending them out the door quickly!

The nurses and doctors are great and do their best to help you out. As well scheduled appointments (ultrasound, echo, etc.) work out fine and are mostly on time. But the organization of this hospital doesn't work at all. Once the shift is changing you will be asked the same questions again and again. It seems like no one really knows what's going on with you nor puts anything on a file. If you go through Emergency it takes sometimes hours to go through. Once I came in at 9.30 pm and was treated at 2:35 am. It happened in the meantime also twice that I was sent home while being scheduled for a surgery and I had to come in the next day again with more wait time. It is already enough dealing mentally with a surgery, but to be sent home and having to come back, makes it worse. To be honest I wouldn’t want having a severe problem treated in this hospital.

Very rude nurses. Really unorganized and unprofessional. They make u wait for so many hours. They kicked some people out of their room so they could clean the room and they said that they could go back after but they did not let them. So the people had to wait 10 hours for another room. The nurses are really rude and unfriendly. U would probably come here at 12:00 pm and u will leave at 12:00 pm 2 days later and 99.9% of this time is the time we wait. Then when u get checked up, the doctors will probably say you r fine even though u might be dying from cancer.

Wait time in the emergency unit is very long and with only one doctor on duty I can see why. I do not understand why more resources are not being given to this hospital. Once I was admitted the nurses were great and while I was in extreme pain they did their best to keep me in a constant supply of fresh pillows and blankets as I kept moving and dropping the previous ones on the floor. In seeing my condition the attending nurse disagreed with the doctors initial assessment of pain treatment and ran out to find and consult with him immediately. The attending physician returned and set me off for a cat scan. The radial imaging techs were pretty bad and did not submit my results to the doctor and when the results were submitted they were incomplete in his opinion. At this point he decided to consult with a surgical physician who came and performed a manual exam. She determined it was most likely my gallbladder. She recommended we consult with her training physical just to be sure. He concurred with her findings and set an ultrasound for me. He ultrasound data confirmed their diagnosis and then they presented me with multiple options. At each step once I was admitted the nurses and doctors were fairly upfront with how limited their resources are and that I can expect prolonged wait times between each step. The nurses provided me with the appropriate care and checked on me frequently. They kept me up to date on what my status was and constantly checked on my pain to ensure it was being managed. When a bed was not to be made available for me upstairs in surgical they did their best to find me a bed and as quiet a space in the emergency room. After reviewing how long I had already been in hospital and the projected time of surgery they advocated on my behalf for a lift on fluids restrictions so I could have some juice and water. Once transferred upstairs to the surgical unit the same Level of profressionalism continued with the care I received from the nurses. The operating physician came to see him later on in the morning and reviewed to operations, possible complicatations and answered any questions I had. The anesthesiologist and operating room nurses were warm with a great bedside manor as was the observing surgical that was assisting. Each step was explained step by step. The initial interaction with the emergency room check in, triage nurse and wait time in emergency waiting would be the poor experiences I had. Poor attitudes and a greater concern with a few disgruntled patients that commanded all of their attention at times left everyone else concerned over what their priorities were. I would recommend stationing a security guard at emergency so registration and triage can handle and focus on patients

My mom arrived at the RVH by ambulance after suffering a fall. She waited from 9:30 PM until 2:30 AM in severe pain from what turned out to be a broken shoulder. At 2:30 A doctor came in and ordered x-rays. The nurse came in at 3:30 and put my mom's arm and shoulder in a sling. My mom was given no pain medication until I requested something at 4:30 AM because the nurse couldn't understand why she was complaining about the pain and why the pain made her feel sick to her stomach when she was moving her around to put a sling on. No doctor came in to explain her injuries or why the sling was being put on until 10 o'clock the next morning. My mom is a senior citizen who suffered a severe stroke eight years ago. She was experiencing some confusion and a great deal of pain during her time at the hospital. I understand emerge can be quite busy and I understand the nurses could be overworked. But they managed to stand at the desk chatting about what courses They wanted to take and about their weekend activities etc. I feel that the treatment at the RVH was inhumane to leave a person of any age in that much pain for that many hours with literally no attention and no explanation of her injuries for over 13 hours is disgusting. I will travel far and wide to avoid the emergency department of the Royal Victoria Hospital.
