The reason I know this is they discuss very loudly what coffee they like best, what candies in the draw are their favorite what they want to order on their pizza and what they saw on someone's Facebook etc. It is horrible that a relatively new facility is so disfunctional. In additional to the horrible service follow up when you are unfortunate enough to need care from outside of Oxford County is even worse. If you are in London hospital you will be contacted by a specialist within 2 days, if it is referral from Oxford County try 2.5 months. My referral to an internist in Oxford was within 2 days unfortunately he obviously could do nothing for me but refer me to 4 specialists in London, for what he called a very serious life threatening matter. 2 months later I am told by an office in Mississauga (not sure who they are) that my first appointment is 2.5 months away and that another specialist will see me 7 months from now. Still waiting to hear from the other specialists and maybe from my Woodstock internist (who said my condition was serious) hmmmmm maybe he thinks I am dead. Have tried to call his office here in town left messages twice still no reply. Went back to the Woodstock hospital even bigger mistake no help and a complete waste of my time. Am smarter now and went to London hospital and got the service and all the tests I needed immediately. Now I can more forward again, fortunately for me it will be at another hospital for my needed surgery and follow-up. Thank goodness for other hospitals that actually care. This hospital is a total waste of taxpayer dollars.

I was given high does of pain medication via IV for several days. The doctors changed my auto refill to on demand refill of my pain meds. I spent days in agony because I was supposed to ask for my pain meds. The only problem is no one told me. Today is my 11th day and over the days time and again I have suffered unnecessarily because my nurse felt they should try using less pain meds !! Again with out telling me. It has just happened again. I was wondering why my pain was growing. I made the choice to stop taking my tylenol # 2 every 6 hours and just take my every dilauded 4 mg every 4 hours. The nurse thought I should only get 2 mg. She did on her own. I had a piece bone removed in my rt leg to replace a apart of my lower jaw bone ( destroyed during radiation therapy, many years ago) I was told today I will not be able to leave the hospital until I can walk in a walking boot. The nurse told me it was in file. They have put it on for me 4 times and every time it cause me excruciating pain, because it puts pressure on my unhealed wound. I have order a knee cart so I can more easily get around; especially in public. This will be my 10th surgery in my life and I am over 70 years old. today I had a heated argument with a nurse. I said after a while lets agree to disagree. She NO your are going to hear me out. I asked 1) please my room she just kept talking and after asking her to leave my room 3 times. she still kept talking so I picked up my phone and told her I was going to call security she finally left. IF I NEED TO GET AN IMPORTANT SURGERY, I WOULD NEVR COME HEAR AGAIN. Now I find out the reason I only got 2mg of dilauded is because they now altered my file from 4 mg to 2-4 mg of dilauded. with out telling me and at the nurse whim and I again had no input. So Now I will ask for my Tylenol 2 every 6 hours.

i was borned it made me so happy i made a poem…read moreSaint Joseph's Lullaby In the heart of a bustling city, where life's symphony crescendos, Stands Saint Joseph's, a sanctuary of beginnings and farewells. Its walls echo with whispered prayers, hopes, and the rhythm of life, A refuge where souls intertwine, where destiny weaves its spell. I. The Arrival In the quiet of dawn, a newborn's cry pierces the veil, Tiny fingers grasp at the promise of existence. Saint Joseph's cradles you, a miracle in the arms of nurses, Their touch gentle as the morning breeze, their smiles luminescent. II. The Healing Here, the corridors hum with footsteps of healers, White-coated guardians of hope, stitching wounds and mending hearts. They wield stethoscopes like magic wands, deciphering life's secrets, Their hands, instruments of grace, weaving threads of resilience. III. The Waiting Room Families huddle in the waiting room, hearts suspended, Their breaths syncopated with each tick of the clock. They clutch rosaries, photographs, and whispered promises, Seeking solace in the flicker of candles, the warmth of shared tears. IV. The Chapel Beyond sterile walls, a chapel stands--a haven for weary souls, Its stained glass windows casting kaleidoscopic prayers. Here, faith blooms like lilies, fragrant and unwavering, As whispered petitions rise, seeking solace in the divine. V. The Goodbyes And when the final curtain falls, Saint Joseph's cradles departing souls, Their breaths fading like echoes down dimly lit hallways. Yet hope lingers--a fragile flame in the eyes of grieving families, As they trace their loved ones' names on the memorial wall. VI. The Birthdays But oh, the birthdays! Saint Joseph's rejoices in each one, Balloons dancing in celebration, cupcakes adorned with wishes. The walls remember your first steps, your laughter echoing, A chorus of tiny victories, a testament to life's resilience. VII. The Nightfall As night descends, the hospital breathes--a living entity, Its heartbeat syncopated with the city's pulse. Saint Joseph's, where beginnings and endings entwine, A sacred tapestry woven with threads of courage and love.

They don't communicate with each other or anyone else so any progress towards any solution is very slow unless it is elementary.

In short, go to another hospital unless you know your problem and can be fixed before the next weekend.
