Went in today for my girlfriend having a head injury we believed to be a concussion. We were intially confused by the process but just go to the first window called triage before registering. The wait with half full room was very quick to go through. Between the first and the second waiting room we were able to see a doctor within 20 minutes. Dr Ryan greeted with a joke that we did not get but the friendliness came across. His check for her concussion was proffesional and he made us feel comfortable with natural conversation, questions, and a smile. He asked all the questions that should be asked. We were given a resource of further things to do along with his instructions via a website he says his helpful. Appreciated a soccer game being on in the first lobby and overall for a hospital it was quick and painless. Hope you have a similar experience.
Emergency is useless. Go to Calgary it's worth the drive
Only reason it gets one star is some of the nursing staff is incredible .
I have had many visits in the last year for a few different things and have barely had any problems. Wait time was good. Nurses can have a bit of an attitude sometimes, but so can everyone. Especially when nearing the end of a long day. Most of the doctors have been caring and actually listened although I've had some that just want to prescribe and move on. It really depends on when and who you get, on how your experience will be.
Have lived in Lethbridge most of my life. Numerous visits to this hospital for family, friends and myself. The nursing staff seem to have a holier than thou attitude. They seem to think they are above everyone. From 1 nurse to the next they don't seem to communicate and know what is going on. Most drs are ok here however A Dr we recently had the pleasure of dealing with accused my wife of leaving to do drugs when she was a patient there. She offered up a urine test to prove him wrong. She and to leave to go to school and the nurse also didnt believe her and wanted to call the college she was attending. The Nurses are who give this place a bad name. If they dont wsnt to work with people and help them to get better why are they here?. The prejudice towards minority's is openly apparent. Most not all nurses are very rude and tend to talk down to the patients my wife as well as others we viewed in the same area. If you are not in dire need make the drive to Taber hospital or anywhere else. The nurses here need better training and people skills. They need to drop the attitude. If it was at the end of a long shift I'd get that. But to be that way all the time while working with patients creates a atmosphere no one wants to be in. Very disappointed with the nursing staff. If you do go and a nurse gives you attitude do not stand for it. Make a complaint and do not allow a nurse to be rude or ignorant to you or your family. You do not need the added attitude to with what's already ailing you.
