| - i dislocated my shoulder and the paramedic asked me if it would be ok to go here as the North York general was busy. if you find yourself in the same situation and they wont take you to a different hospital, shoot yourself in the head right now. If you have no lethal weapon around, jump out of the ambulance and hope that a car runs you down. You will be better off.
The whole hospital looks like it is from a gheto or some prison hospital. But we dont judge a hospital by it's cover, or lack thereof
When I arrived with my dislocation, I was moaning from pain, yet the idiot triage insisted I spell every letter of my address, next of kin, and other nonconcequential BS. Then she proceded to put me in the wrong department where the attending nearly succeeded in grabbing my arm to see what the "sprain" was. When I yeld at the moron that my arm was clearly dislocated as my shoulder joint was now where my armpit used to be, he conceded that this was outside his area of expertise, and a mere hour later I finally had my arm reduced.
I know that most people don't shop around for hospitals when they need to go to ER, but just keep this in mind - unless you are immediately dying, even if you have to drive twice as long to a different hospital, you may be better off.
NOT recommended.
