Dr. Amy Forrest, the ER physician was great. She managed my pain from a broken ankle (2nd time in 6 months, despite 9 pins and a metal plate surgically installed in July 2021). She had a great bedside manner and truly cared. She made sure I was taken care of. The RN who put on my cast was great too because she made sure it cured in the position with a bent foot (so I wouldn't get "drop foot" she said).
I was out of the ER within about 4 hours. The only reason this review is a 4 and not a 5 is because I thought I broke my knee, shin and ankle in the fall (slipped down a hill on gravel) and I had to ask the nurse to clean the wound before they put the cast on (?) to avoid an infection. And, I had a heck of a time getting someone to get me an ice pack to keep it from swelling.
Three (3) ER staff came in and I asked each of them for an ice pack and each time they said they would bring it. 45 minutes passed. I finally called the front desk at the hospital and asked to be transferred to the nurses station. I can't walk (no crutches or wheelchair), no call button to contact someone, and they close those big heavy doors to the ER room so you'd have to yell at the top of your lungs and sound like a crazy person to get their attention. Then, the RN who told me I was discharged said to make my way to the front to leave. then shut the door. Ugh, no crutches or wheelchair with my right leg in a cast.
I couldn't even get to my clothes. I had to pull a chair with my good leg and transfer myself, then open the door and call out for help. The RN responded, "Well can you get yourself dressed?" Kind of rude.

Having a severe problem with my foot. DR Said she sent in referral to mcmc for xray. Foot getting worse now no feeling and its black n blue. I went in to ER to get it xrayed. I was told they had no referral, this place has no one waiting. No cars in parking lit. I started to leave and decided to check my dr's website My health. Sure enough there is a referral for mcmc.went back in and showed the lady at the desk.
I was told she may have sent it but we never got it."So I Have to Have a referral?" No, not necessarily. At No time was I ever asked if I wanted to see a dr. I can only guess because I'm wearing boots she thinks I'm not that in need of being seen. The fact my puppy chewed up almost all my shoes doesent seem to be anything I need to share.
What happened to people that care? I'd rather drive the 100 miles into Vancouver to be seen than come here for anything. 3 people sitting talking at front desk and not one person offered me a dr.
