I recently stayed here for 6 days due to some mystery disease that they are still trying to figure out. Care was excellent, though on occasion rather perfunctory, and most important: I got better each day. I went to my family doctor prior to going to the emergency room, so my wait there was not as long as some (I got a note from my doctor). The first day was hell, due to a battery of tests that were performed on me all the way up to 5 in the morning. I was moved every couple of days because I was the youngest patient in the wing, but aside from that, I was kept comfortable and full of all the icy cold water I could swig down.
The doctors and nurses were pretty gentle and understanding when I was terrified and in massive amounts of pain, some even held my hand during tests. The food was mediocre at best, but provided me with the strength I needed to get better and out by Sunday. The staff here is enormously busy, in fact, busy doesn't describe it. But despite the long shifts, the cranky patients and the constant wanting for this and that; most kept their cool and friendly bedside manner. Which I think contributed a great deal to my recovery.
So thank you, Rockyview General. I hope to never have to see you again :).
