  I know many other who have recieved wrong diagnoses at this hospital; one for another torn ACL and one for a broken ankle (who again was told she shouldn't get an X-ray...) From now on I will be driving further for another hospital.

  Went in around 12:30am as a close friend of mine was struggling with a good amount of pain. Took the triage nurse about 45 minutes to consult her and eventually gave her the medication to ease the pain, but as we sat there waiting to get called in, it took them another 2 hours before we heard another name called and counted MINIMUM 10 people leaving as the wait was way too long, children and all. We sat there for 4 hours before we decided it was a pointless trip and left ourselves. Quite frankly, I don’t believe they even deserve recognition for the unnoticed “help” they give.

  Triage was excellent. I came in with my daughter who is already suffering with Post Concussive Syndrome and had a chair break yesterday causing to land head first onto concrete. The Resident? (Did not introduce himself), felt that she was okay even though it was evident that she failed the basic neuro exam! When I requested a CT scan or MRI he said it wasn't necessary. I explained that she is just starting her post concussive treatment: he said that "there is no merit to that and it's just a bunch of bunk". I"m STUNNED> He also suggested that if she had an MRI and| it showed a "cyst; or something, that's opening another can of worms". Based on his nonchalant, don't bother me attitude, I would wage that Neurology as a whole is a "bunk" science to him. I could not get my daughter to come home with me tonight and will be taking her tomorrow to a Hospital that does consider concussions a real injury. Shame on this kid practicing in the ER and shame on the Hospital for having such a poor example of a Doctor to be at their Facility.

  I was visiting Guelph from America last year. I did not pack enough of my medication and I ended up in a really bad situation for my mental well being. They helped me quick and got me in a room speaking with a doctor fast. They were understanding and very kind and they were able to get me my medication. I don't want to take away from anyone's genuine experience and feelings here in the comments but I think some people fail to realize how lucky they are to have health facilities as nice as this. It would be on the news and all of Guelph would be protesting if it were like the hospital near me here in America. My biggest regret though was not having travelers insurance. I plan to pay my bill though for sure. It's cheap. Even with the charge for being a foreigner of $500. It was under $1,000. Here it would be $5,000 to $10,000 USD just for the doctors to tell me they won't help me.

  Wrong diagnosis for a torn ACL after waiting 4 hours, I was told it was a just a sprain and when asked for an X-ray or an MRI referral to be sure the doctor said no. I now have to wait two months for an MRI (which is normal) after finally getting a referral from a sports doctor, although when trying to get in touch with MRI department to get on a cancellation list no one will answer. No one will return my messages either. When called the front desk to get a hold of someone they transferred me to another department with no explanation, where again there was no answer. Left another message and still no one will return my calls.

  First time to Guelph emergency. I came in at 5:30 am. There is less than a half dozen of us here. I've been here an hour and not one patient has been called in yet. Definitely not really open 24 hours.
