  I arrived by air from Red Lake on July 17 after suffering a heart attack on July 13! Was taken to cardiac catheterization unit and I was treated like a king from the moment I arrived!! Wonderful funny nurses made the whole experience completely relaxed! Nothing to worry about.Thanks Tina and all the girls! Would definitely consider having another heart attack just so I could see you guys again!!

  Family member went in as he was having severe GI upset to oral Amoxi-clav. The doctor's solution was to give him MORE oral Amoxi-clav, and when I mentioned this to the nurse, she said "Maybe you didn't communicate your issue clearly enough". Not sure how that could have been possible, as I told the issue to three separate HCPs. The MD went on later to say that he shouldn't have given the pill. Unbelievable incompetency from everybody involved.

  I went to hospital on Monday for my chest pain which ive been having for over a month, the doctor asked me couple questions and wouldn't even give me a chance to speak. Did a heart test and a xray. Been told that everything is fine by the doctor who was clearly very impatient made me feel like im wasting his time and he had a flight to catch. I dont even know if he actually took a look of the xray. And also be prepared to wait for at least 4 to 5 hours to see a doctor. Very bad experience with thunder bay hospital. This city has many problems and the hospital is one of them.

  If I was an executive or part of the management team at this circus, I would never admit to it. I honestly believe that the most embarrasing thing one could ever say in this city is, "I'm the president and CEO of TBRHSC". The second most embarrasing thing one could ever say is, "I'm part of the management team at TBRHSC". I would not even admit to being a janitor at this place (Have you ever seen how filthy hospital is?). You would receive better care in a third world nation. If you think you're very sick and possibly dying, just stay at home and take a tylenol. If you go to TBRHSC you'll just end up waiting 6 to 12 hours suffering in emerg without seeing a doctor anyway. If you're lucky enough to see a doctor after waiting 6 to 12 hours, you'll probably be given a tylenol and sent home anyway, so don't waste your time.

  Had to ask the doctor to wash his hands before the procedure even though there are hand washing signs everywhere. Somehow he thought wearing gloves over dirty hands was good enough.
