Palliative Care room is the least comforting place for family as they comfort their loved one on their final journey to end of life. I have seen how other cultures honour that journey and this place misses the mark on so many levels, however, the government can give $32 million dollars to a sound studio in Burnside while our loved ones have to put up with this soulless system. I will be a strong voice for this to change, once our journey has concluded. Bet On It !!

My husband was admitted to emergency and was there for a week. He was not happy at all. Each and every staff member treated him like gold! The hospital should be proud of the teams. Thanks

Amazing story as many are waiting in the ER for hours, and this amazing woman patient advocate( NV) is going around offering water and then cookies to everyone. Felt like we were at a four star hotel and not an ER waiting room.

Been going to outpatients here for over 20 yrs.. never once improved. There’s always a new unnamed outpatients physician that doesn’t care and just wants to go home. I’ve been lied to, yelled at, completely ignored, and always.. always sent home with my problems never addressed. I’ve seen my own family members go through medical emergencies to only be hooked up to machines for hours completely ignored and told that they couldn’t do anything for them but monitor them anyway, and after finally sending them to another hospital they were sent to ICU and told they would have died if they stayed in Digby any longer. No matter if it’s closed or open, someone in there during an emergency always says “I don’t think it’s anything” without doing any proper checks and tells you to go home. Can this place just go already? They cant even do anything besides monitor your vitals and clean a busted head and I doubt that will change. I’m always forced to go there because it’s the closest hospital but it’s always a complete waste of critical time.
Also the amount of malpractices that happen here because you don’t get the physicians name is astonishingly high. Every time I leave 11+ hours later with nothing done, I’m always like “no wonder people keep dying here”
Seriously, don’t go here if you care about your health.

I received very good care here after getting stung by 5 bees on a nearby hiking trail. Once I managed to stumble inside in ER, the staff got a Benadryl IV drip going very quickly get my hives/swelling down. Staff was helpful, well trained and thorough. ER was clean, well lighted and well equipped. This American says thank you Canada health care workers!

Outpatients is a horrible experience most times. Unless your a extremely lucky person. Was there last night with very high blood pressure etc and waited almost 3 hours still not seen. I had no choice but to leave. Was about 6 or so others there and nobody was seen while I was there. The patient number on the screen never moved until near the shift change. Pretty bad when about 4 seniors are sitting there unseen and a lady with a broken foot sitting there in pain etc for hours. With about 5 nurses all sitting in ther e all around the desk looking like they're socializing. Better off to go the the clinic in Annapolis, much more time effect there. And a few nurse where I bit rude, i don't think they liked being questioned by patients waiting.

I went to the Digby General Hospital today with an issue with my ear. Absolutely everyone was very nice. I had to get an object out of my ear that was bigger than the opening. It was not an easy task, but they took it on and exercised common sense and good skills. I feel lucky to live close to people who are competent , caring and kind. From the time I walked in the door to the time I left it was about an hour and a half. I know that it is the luck of the draw as to how busy staff is when it comes to good service. Sure,,, I may have picked a good day that was not overly busy, but it is nice to know that the staff is used to being nice to people. I won't hesitate to go back.

I will NEVER go to, or take ANYONE to this hospital unless they are dying! My wife had a bad fall on the ice and impacted her head heavily on our paved driveway. Ambulance was called and they were amazing. Problems started when we arrived at this hospital. The ambulance drivers had called ahead to make sure there would be an x-ray tech on hand because they suspected broken bones. Once we got inside, the on duty doctor saw us briefly and said he couldn't look at my wife as he had just worked a 24 hour shift, so he passed us on to the incoming doctor. We waited in the x-ray department for a short time until the on call x-ray tech arrived. After the results came back we saw the duty doctor who told us there were no broken bones. My wife was in agony and couldn't even bear to have her arms touched. However the doctor proceeded to squeeze BOTH arms as my wife stifled screams. The doctor said this "shouldn't be happening", and in the end said "Well, I'm stumped. There's nothing else I can do for her. Take her home and put her in a hot bath!" My wife couldn't even get off the stretcher let alone go home!! I asked about the possibility of a concussion and she agreed it was likely. I asked if she was keeping her overnight for observation and she said no. I refused to leave in case something cropped up overnight. My wife had been given morphine in the ambulance, but the only thing they gave her in the hospital was an Ativan to calm her down!! An hour or so later I asked a nurse if I could speak to the doctor again when she wasn't busy. I was told she was taking a nap and she'd send her in when she woke up. She never showed. In the morning I saw another doctor making his rounds and I asked if he'd be checking on my wife. The nurse said "No, your wife was signed off last night". I guess the doctor couldn't go for her nap as long as she had a patient to care for!!! NO prescription for pain killers and NO advice regarding the concussion!! A few days later I took her to the Annapolis Medical Center and their doctor looked after her properly. I mentioned my experience at the Digby Hospital to a few friends and as soon as I mentioned that hospital, without exception, they all said "Oh no! You didn't taker here THERE!" My advice to you is never go there. My advice to them is , install proper emergency doors for stretchers, fix the holes and paint the rooms, and find some proper doctors!!!
