Canceled my call for help no-one come to check in, i was on a bed with an ovarian cyst , no one checked on me for at least an hour , passed out in pain at least once, whaling and crying in pain, totally unacceptable, just tossed away in corner to writhe in pain. If they werent going to do anything I would have stayed at home in a warm bed with hot water bottles ! I was only here because im worried it might be twisted , The time before this i passed out on the floor by the waiting room bathroom because I couldnt sit in a wheelchair anymore , they just hauled me off to a back corner away from everyone , and just put me in another bloody chair , i F$&@ hate this hospital
I've had both the misfortune and the great pleasure of attending the Sturgeon Hospital. At every visit, regardless of the reason, the staff have been very respectful and professional. The hospital and its staff are above reproach. I hope I don't have to return anytime soon, but if I do I know that the experience won't be made worse due to the staff or the facility. Thank you for all you do.
The worst one that we have been to. We were there with our 3 year old child and we wait from 5:30pm to 9pm, we still didn't see the doctor, our child cried because she wasn't feeling good and had been waiting for so long, one nurse came and asked us to keep our child quiet, we finally left after 4 hours waiting still no doctor. The thing is The waiting room was not packed full at all. Nurses inside just grouped together and chatted. It's a shame. They should observe other hospitals and learn how to manage the work flow. Be dedicate, you will be honoured.
I gave one star because you cannot go lower than that. Sunday September 30, I had to rush my pregnant girlfriend to the emergency room. She had two violent seizures, and while we know she has seizures relatively often, she is 12 weeks pregnant, so it's kind of a big deal.I dropped her off around 6pm, with my one year old daughter. I took out three year old son with me, took him to get some food for mom and sister and went and dropped it back off at the hospital. I had to go back to our old place (we finished moving yesterday), to clean up and make sure we were good for the move out inspection. It sucks, but such is life sometimes. So about an hour later she's telling me that a hospital social services worker says that my girlfriend was not allowed to be at the hospital alone with my daughter. (My first thought was, what about single mothers, immigrants and people who have children and no family near by to help them?!) So ok, fine, I guess I'm going back to the hospital and leaving our old place trashed. I get back around 730 pm, all is well. Kids are happy, girlfriend is really starting to wake back up from her seizure (they leave her a little foggy sometimes). Flash forwatd: 1130 pm. Still waiting. Kids bedtime is 8 pm so as you can imagine they are cranky and causing a ruckus. My one year old daughter bites my son, hard. I gently swat her bum, tell her no biting and sat her In the chair beside me. Immediately afterwards the social worker comes in, asks if she can hold my daughter, who was screaming bloody murder because she, like all children, hates time out. I do NOT let strangers touch my children. EVER. I said firm but respectfully, "I'm sorry, but no. I do not let strangers touch my children." She pivoted on the spot, while rolling her eyes and scoffing. Closed the door WAY harder than necessary and stormed off. Shortly after this event occurred, my daughter had taken her boots off. She has a bad habit of curling her toes in, when trying to put her boots on. I'm sure almost every parent can relate to how difficult it can be to get your child's shoes on. Well, the best way to get them on is to Pat the bottom of her boot, she straightens her toes out and her boot goes on. So of course my girlfriend does this, my daughter's boots are back on and she's back on her way playing and fussing. About a half an hour after the incident with the social worker/hospital worker, the RCMP showed up and accused my girlfriend of punching my daughter THREE times and then throwing her across the room into a chair. The rcmp confirmed that it was in fact a nurse at the hospital who had made this claim. I am APPALLED at the audacity that a nurse at this hospital would make such abhorent and false allegations towards my spouse. This is an absolutely disgusting accusation to make against someone, especially coming from a health care practioner. I went there concerned for my spouse and future child's health and left with the knowledge that she is having a miscarriage, immediately prior to being accused of her beating our children. I will NEVER use this hospitals service and I strongly recommend EVERYONE reconsiders using this hospital!
Wait times in emergency 5 hours long on a fairly slow day. This hospital is poorly staffed or managed for it's size. I realize our healthcare system in Alberta and countrywide is in dire need of address, but if Albertan's are in need of an example of how poorly our overall system is just visit the St. Albert Sturgeon Hospital. (This hospital use to be outstanding).
