Cape Breton Regional Hospital (CBRH )

This hospital is absolutely garbage. I've been having pregnancy complications for a few weeks now and they've done absolutely NOTHING.

12 hours waiting & doc didnt know what was wrong with me (dying in pain) so sent me home and scheduled an ultrasound. Had to be taken back by ambulance & waited 5 hours to see a doctor. He did some bloodwork, didnt notice anything, sent me home with a prescription. Still in pain. Why cant the staff do more tests? If your vitals are somewhat normal, youre at the bottom of the list. There are people in severely bad shape that can get in before you, but, when the only way you get to see a doctor is because youre literally screaming in pain, cant stand or breathe, and all this happens in the waiting room after a 5 hour wait, in front of others, triage nurse just starting over at you, not bothering to help, you know theres something wrong! If i could give no stars, I would!

My 99 year old mother was admitted through E.R. & they were wonderful! Have never had a complaint when having to go to CBRH.

Im giving three stars because as a patient in this hospital I cant say enough good things about it and the nurses. My complaint is with the Emergency Room and the long waits Ive endured for a very serious issue resulting from an Esophageal Cancer surgery. Consistently food would get stuck in my esophageal remnant ( at the time that was the only term I knew) I know now its called a Food Bolus and I cant swallow so much as a sip of water or it comes out my nose. I need a scope to remove the food , but the triage nurses didnt understand ,and because my vitals were normal I was left to wait up to sixteen hours ,at high risk of choking and aspiration into my lungs which I have done. . Ive had doctors and nurses be terribly rude to me until I asked them to read my thoracic surgeons notes. Then the scope would be done if nothing else worked and Id be admitted for the night sometimes. I was also in a great amount of pain this whole time which sometimes took two morphine shots to get rid of. I had surgery in March of 2021 which seems to have taken care of the problem. Also I am I senior and I have to put in here some triage nurses were rude and mean and some were nice .

5 times to CBRH by ambulance since June. Have yet to figure out why I'm having the sickness im having. Lost so much weight. Have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Was put in the ambulance bay by an EHS worker calling me chikdish for crying in pain while I was naked and I have a recording of it, too. So this hospital better step up its game and if I die this year or next, most likely it's due to the lack of funding and proper space and staff.
