QEII Foundation - Halifax, Nova Scotia

ᄀᄉᄆ

The rating isn't for the hospital, but the ambulance emergency medical team at the QEII. They need to be better educated on mental health. Absolutely horrific experience with the medical team who were extremely aggressive towards a patient that anyone could tell was blatantly fearful of them. When an individual is experiencing a panic/anxiety attack, expect them to be extremely withdrawn and sensitive. The paramedics were extremely aggressive right from the start and told the patient (who had difficulty speaking throughout her attack) to "act like an adult". Yes, she may have been a young adult, but obviously she wasn't in the right state for her to be addressed in such an insensitive way. They made the situation even worse and did nothing to help except make her feel criminalised for having psychiatric problems. When she wanted to speak with the one paramedic that didn't speak to her so aggressively, the other three wouldn't let her but made the patient feel backed up in a corner and confined. People like those medics should absolutely NOT be working as paramedics. Repulsed. Horrified. Appalled. I cannot accurately describe how disgusted I was at the treatment they showed. Again.. Please educate your "paramedics" on mental health.

Questionable practices coming from their social media department. The deleting of comments on a partnership with a problematic influencer is concerning. Not a foundation I would be donating my money to when they are partnering with the influencers that they have chosen. And then deleting comments when people raise concerns over said influencers.

승민: The QEII Foundation is neither the hospital nor the ambulance service. It's a fundraising organization. I can sympathize with the scenario you've described, but it's not appropriate to give a charitable foundation a bad review over something in which they had absolutely no involvement or influence.
