I don’t even know where to start on this one, I came into this emergency room after taking a really bad fall. I sat at my family cottage and knew my foot was broken.
I drove myself to this joke of a medical centre, went in and waited forever to get looked at. Once I finally got in and had an X-ray done I sat for another couple hours waiting for the doctor.
I don’t remember her name, (tall blonde woman, maybe 30-40 years old). She came in and said “Your X-rays look great, there is no break and it’s likely just a bad sprain”
I was very surprised, having a very high pain tolerance I can generally gauge how bad something is.
But I trusted the medical professional, I returned home to Calgary the next day and tried walking on the foot. Because I knew it was not broken I felt fine to just push through the pain.
On Wednesday of the following week I had noticed I had no missed calls but 2 voicemails.
It was someone from this hospital requiring me to call them back, the second voicemail was quite alarming based on just how rude of tone the caller was using.
I called back, and whomever I spoke to informed me that the radiology department looked at my X-ray and that the foot was for sure broken, it was a fracture and not a hairline fracture either. They advised me to go to my local hospital or family doctor and get a cast… This doctor who has what 10 years of medical training at this point can’t read an X-ray? But not only that comes in and says “Your foot looks great”….
I’ll never visit here again, I could get run over and I would crawl to Red Deer instead…
