Worst hospital experience was there over nine hrs and never seen a doctor or the doctor call any patients the last four hrs but super great if your from Quebec they will pass everyone before you and the night nurse sure loves her phone rather than working useless don't waste your time
So happy we have this regional hospital, both my husband and myself have been patients and have been treaty ,friendly and efficient.Yes the hospital in the past had not such a good name,but you can sure see the difference and we are very lucky to have it.By the way the people complaining at the moment are they really that badly in need of the ER or do they not have a family doctor.At the moment my husband is in the ICU and we cannot get over how clean it is and the staff is going out of there way to help.Also we did not have to wait long in the ER,actual never did even in the past ,guess if you are really in need of the ER it goes fast.Will recommend this hospital to everybody and for those complaining,try Manitoba, Alberta and Quebec,good luck there
Second and last visit for me. First time I waited 5 hours and was informed it would be at least another 4 hours so I went home. On my second visit and 4 hours in and was just informed it will be at least another 4 hours.
My own personal experiences at this hospital have been horrendous, the emergency centre (er), has terrible waiting times, and very rude staff. I always feel belittled every time I come here. Waited 5 hours to get stitches, and then 10 days later, 8 hours to get them removed. I did not stay after hour 8, I left and took them out myself. I felt as if my stitches werent even important. Another experience was when I had ruptured a cyst, I had no idea what was wrong, they brought me in and roughly shot a needle in my arm, I had no idea what it was. I later found out (2 hours later) I was allergic to this medication, still freaking out 8 hours later, they finally tell me I have a ruptured cyst and internal bleeding, just another amazing day at the Hawkesbury general hospital. I wish I had amazing experiences here like everyone else but each one of them has made me rethink my living location. I wish you all luck, but I would definitely not recommend this place. Ive driven to Ottawa lately for my last few emergencies.
The nurse that did my blood test gave me permanent nerve damage! Heard her say "oops" but thought she was just having a hard time finding my vein... got home and my arm was still numb an hour later... Then started to be absolute staggering pain. I called to explain and ask to speak to the nurse... She explained she "may" have "accidentally" hit a nerve which is a "very rare" case and was laughing like an idiot .. When I asked what could be done she said "nothing" and when I asked how long it would be hurt she said "a few hours". I was in INSANE pain for over 10 hours, crying and twitching and unable to move my arm until the next morning but the pain was so bad I didn't sleep at all. This was a whole year ago but I should have sued honestly.
