Brampton Civic Hospital

Avoid the ER! Rude ass nurses. Don’t even bother to ask nurse Yvonne questions about your medical condition or else she will seem annoyed and pull the «I’m the nurse, you’re not» card on you! For instance, I only asked, «Nurse, do you, by any chance, know why my brother’s respiratory rate is a 9?» She replied with, «Don’t ask me questions like that because your brother just got here.» Instead of, «I don’t know but I will try to find out for you by further assessing your brother’s current condition.» Also, she repositioned my brother’s bed and hit the chair where I was sitting on without informing me or my brother, at least, that she had an intention to reposition the bed. And take note, she would make you seem like you’re the rude one in front of other medical staff to make her feel good about herself and you feeling like crap, which you’re not. What’s worse, other nurses would take her side and would just laugh at you as you try to explain the situation of how Yvonne treated you and your family members. My mom also complained to me that she was only asking Yvonne for an ice pack because my brother was complaining of pain in his arm due to the potassium IV fluid flowing through his veins, and Yvonne gave my mom an attitude by stating, «You sit down and wait. I’m still charting.» Shame on Brampton Civic for hiring low-​class, low quality, unprofessional nurses to work in the ER. I’m sure that I’m not the only one that experienced this horrible kind of client service here.
Towards the end of Yvonne’s shift, my mom told me that Yvonne apologized to my mom but then she added, «Your daughter needs to respect me because I’m The Nurse.» What nerve! She was the one that disrespected me.
In addition, my brother has been admitted to Brampton Civic’s ER three times already and the doctors still cannot figure out what’s wrong.
Do they even deserve 1 star? I’ll still give them 1 because I am generous that way.

This hospital has got to be the worst. How do I know? I was a patient there for 2 weeks. Fucking RUDE ass nurses in the emerge and on the actual floors. You would think that one would leave the hospital feeling better. WRONG. I was still just as sick when I was discharged, seriously, if you want good treatment and good well educated nurses, go to Toronto Western Hospital where you will actually get good treatment. The nurse in emerge was grabbing my legs hard and ripped off the sticker things from my body not being gentle at all. Things only got worse when I got my room. A nurse actually kicked my boots. They gave me medication that I was not entitled to and it caused a reaction so two nurses were called up from the ICU and all they could ask was «are you bleeding». What a terrible hospital, two weeks wasted there. Every time I drive past this place all I can think in my head is «look at that fucking shit hole».

My brother had a massive stroke and was rushed to the I.C.U. at Brampton Civic Hospital, although my mother had wanted another hospital because she’d heard bad things about it. While there my brother declined to a vegetative state and eventually died. It was a very traumatic time for my family.
There are some very good things about Brampton Civic: some excellent nurses, for one. In the I.C.U. my brother had two wonderful, caring nurses, Yvonne and Voltaire, who looked after him, kept the family informed, and were as humane and sensitive as could be. I would also like to recognize one of the team doctors, Dr. Moltyaner, whose clinical expertise and personal sensitivity towards my grieving family make him an ideal doctor for such difficult work. If it were based on these three individuals alone my review would be five stars. The hospital is also spanking new, with new equipment etc. These are good things.
However, there were some troubling aspects to our experience that make this hospital merely average. For one, some of the doctors there clearly think that all there is to medicine is to get A’s in medical school; they treat patients like clinical objects, their families like annoyances. One of the team doctors, a clinically precise but impatient young man who sounded like he’d swallowed the Merck Manual whole, was extremely rude and condescending to my grieving mother. Faced with the prospect of having to remove her child from life support, my mother asked this doctor if the breathing ventilator and all the apparatus were considered life support. The doctor snapped back, «Look around you: this is what life support looks like!» He made more denigrating remarks about families who persisted in keeping their loved ones on life support when he personally found it unethical. Not that we had solicited his opinion.
Another problem: Brampton Civic operates like a parochial clinic. My brother died on a Canadian holiday, so there was no social worker on hand to talk to us about next steps. (The social worker had the day off. If only death would take a break for holidays too!) Immediately after my brother was declared dead an organ donor agency rep came in the room, a sheaf of release forms in hand, to request that we donate my brother’s organs. The representative was a fine person doing her very best, but the timing was terrible: the family was in shock, had had no discussion of next steps, and here we were talking about harvesting body parts. Death is not just a clinical affair; it is a human affair. Do better, Brampton Civic.
All things considered, Brampton Civic is a solid hospital with competent, knowledgeable staff. For it to become an exceptional hospital, however, the administrators will need to be more sensitive to patients’ families.

My Wife delivered a beautiful healthy baby here. The on call Ob, doctor and nurses were very knowledgeable, patient and caring. We had to stay at the hospital for 48 hrs after delivery during which the nurses in the postpartum block were very caring and helpful. Even the hospital food served to my wife was great (veg). They even have a photo studio in the post partum section which is so convenient and a great touch to the already great service.

Save yourself the agony and frustration, and make the trip to Georgetown or Etobicoke.

Please avoid this hospital in emergency. You can DIE. The staff was busy discussing their weekend plans and forgot to send my blood sample to the Lab until doctor asked for the results after three hours. They misplaced my blood sample and were ready to poke me again. The nurses were very rude and doesn’t care about your suffering. Doctors are not that good in diagnosing the problem so have to go back to my family doctor to refer me to another hospital in Toronto where things are going fine.

the only reason I am going to give this hospital a 2 stars is because there Prenatal care unit is wonderful. They helped my nephew. he was born 6 weeks ahead of time and they helped him get better.
but there emergency sucks. most of the time the nurses are rude. they dont know what they are doing. some with other areas of the hospital
