  There are probably some exemplary healthcare professionals at the Welland Hospital, but I would not send anyone I care about there... Or even my worst enemy.

  My mom is currently in Welland County being treated for a broken leg. The nursing staff on her floor are wonderful. It is a far more positive and better environment than some of the other hospitals in the area.

  Had an accident in Holiday Valley in Ellicotville after skiing. Thought something was possibly broken or dislocated. Drove 2 hours to get to ER in Welland, arrived at midnight and stayed until about 6:30am to basically only get some X-rays that confirmed no abnormalities, but clearly the pain was due to SOMETHING! I was never seen by the doctor here but the doctor told the nurse to give me Advil and send me on my way and that I should be fine in a few days... without an assessment. Saw a sports therapist two weeks later due to continuous and increased pain who informed me that I actually have torn ligaments in my shoulder with severe damage to rotator cuff and I should have been wearing a sling to help improve it. I’m a bit ticked off because the sling could have helped healing quicker and if I was given just a moment to be assessed, my condition now might have been different. Basically, I sat there for 6.5 hours to only get an X-ray and to NOT be seen by a doctor and to NOT be properly assessed. I was not cared for at all by this team.

  Just had knee replacement surgery there. The doctors and staff were professional, kind and helpful. The building is old so bathrooms are tight, etc. Never used emergency so I can't comment on that.

  On a second occasion I had complications after a surgery and was bleeding under the skin (hematoma). I was in shock and throwing up. They gave me some gravol, some fluids and sent me home with an active bleed. Had a friend drive me to another hospital where I had to have another surgery to have 500 cc of blood drained. I complained to the Welland hospital but of course they claim "the care provided was appropriate." They could very easily have killed me.

  Brought my husband into ER for heart related issues at 12:00am Sept 16/17. The overnight ER and Triage nurses were excellent. They were very busy but took very good care of him. They were very professional as was the ER doctor that night. They actually care about their patients and you are not just another number. A great big appreciation and thank you to Joel, Samantha, Corine, Lisa, & Dr. Porwal.

  I passed a kidney stone waiting to be seen. Was there for 8 hours of which 6.5 hours were in the waiting room which was filthy. I had no idea what was wrong with me, I was just in agony the entire time. Didn't get so much as a Tylenol for the first 7 hours.

  I wish the politicians would take their head out of the sand and realise closing all these small hospitals is a bad idea especially when you haven't even started to build the new Niagara Falls hospital that you're promising!
