Brockville General Hospital

Have only had positive experiences here. Wait times for the emergency room were excellent, close to zero wait every time we have visited. Scheduled appointments have been punctual, waiting rooms are uncrowded, staff are genuinely helpful and caring.

Had to go to the ER this past week for a pinched/swollen nerve. Waited 7 hours The emergency doctor came in, asked what the problem was, roughly lifted up my shirt and pressed on my back. Then told me to take 5 Tylenol every few hours. Wrote on a form for my work that my injury is just back pain. Had to return back to work with restrictions of no twisting/ bending, lifting, operating ing heavy equipment etc. While at work, I followed those restrictions very carefully, did basically nothing except walk around, and sit when I needed too. Pain got worse, made a doctors appointment, turns out my muscle is swollen and pushing/irritating my nerve and swelling my nerve. And at my doctors appointment, my shirt did not need to be lifted up at all. And my doctor told me everything he was going to do, unlike the emerg doctor. Now I understand they can be busy, but while I was waiting on the bed for the doctor to come look at me, I saw them and the nurses just sitting around laughing. Brockville general hospital emerg is a joke. Going to be visiting the kingston or smith falls emerg when I have to. Dont care about the drive. Would rather be comfortable, and understand what is actually wrong with me.

Excellent service when bought in by ambulance and on iv for 8 hours. ..the first part of diagnostics and treatment worth 5 stars. But took off iv and gave me pills and sent home with prescription for pills. Threw up 5 mins after leaving. Continued throwing up for 5 days. Was still so sick that it took 5 days to realise i was allergic to pill they gave me in hospital and a prescription for.
