Non of these other people that are rating them based on wait time realize they have a triage chart they have to follow so anything less then an obvious injury is a 4 hour wait minimum
Kept me waiting for 4 hours.
This hospital saved My Life and My Wife's life as well.
I am grateful about the way the Administration has been improving over the last few years. There is still a lack of proper care for the mentally ill and needs to improve.
Over all a 3 out of 5 still saves lives.
Lets all strive for the ever elusive 5 out of 5 and pray we get there one day.
When you put the patient 1st you win.
I can honestly say, that after having spent large portion of my life in and around hospitals; all over this province; mostly with our son David; I can say that the staff here is amazing; they make one feel comfortable and calm; no huge line-ups or long waits to be seen by a physician; truly a very good experience for myself and my entire family; as several of them have also been to DCDH over the past 25 years or so. We even prefer to make the 1 hour drive to Dawson Creek, rather than go to the hospital where we live.
I dont understand how the coordinator would allow all surgeons to take vacation at the same time during Christmas holidays ft st john, dawson, an grande prairie all had no surgeons on call and had to be flown to prince george ..what if there were families involved in a car accident over the holidays??? I think there should be a review done on the person who allows every surgeon to be on holidays during holidays.obiosly not thought through very well our system is a joke and wonder why we have no funding Start at the top an work down not the other way around the main problem is in the upper management not the bottom where the cuts have been made the upper management pulls up the minor issues to focus everyones attention on somewhere other than themselves..something needs to change
Last time I was there, we waited 3 and a half hours, for them to tell me it wasn't important enough for me to see a Dr. They told me to go see my family Dr in the morning.
Got my appendix removed after it ruptured when I was 16. I'm 41 now and still alive so I'm giving them a five stars review.
