If you want a NON English speaking team looking after you then look no further. My husband was already seriously unwell but then on top of it, to have nurses and one of the doctors looking after him who could barely speak English, he couldn't wait to get out of there. He was placed in a room with one other gentleman and two women!!! Is there not some kind of regulation on employing nurses who can at least speak the language properly? My husband asked me to bring meals from home because he said their food tasted like cardboard and was often luke warm by the time it was received.

Approximate cost: $medicare

If this place was not a hospital it would be sued over and over again for how they treat patients. I have just had a stay in there for chest pain and would have been better off going to a vet. The day after being admitted i needed to have a blood test for Diabetes and a stress test for my heart. the Dr had seen me at 10.30 in the morning and advised i could go home after the stress test. Lunch came and went and the Dr returned asking if i had completed the tests. I told him no so he returned to do the blood test himself. The test was not able to be carried out as i had eaten lunch. I then went down to have the stress test done and 0 minutes or so was spent by the 3 young technicians trying to work out how to place the blood pressure cuff on me finally realizing it was on my arm upside down. However after all this the major technician comes in to say that he doesnt know how well it will work as the nurse had given me a Beta blocker prior to the tests. Medication was not put thru to pharmacy and my stay ended with a complaint. The food if you can call it that is as expected... terrible. the nurses are abrupt and need to learn that they would not have that job if not for sick people. The word compassion seems lost on alot of nurses these days sadly but they do have a few good apples in the bunch. My night nurses were fantastic and the Emergency dept was just as good.

This hospital is fantastic.. they saved the life of my father.. Even though there are constraints with budgets etc etc... the people that work in this hospital do everything possible to save lifes. They are great communicators and regularly kept my mother and myself up to date on progress. I know where I will be going if anything goes wrong..

The staff can only make do with what they have...which is not a lot. That said they do a good job trying to get you in. The service is always excellent, even though it is very crowded!

Overall a great quality hospital but definitely overcrowded and waiting times can be very long. Once you are in though the quality of doctors and care is one of the best I've ever experienced. You get the best that money can buy and most times like for us it was paid by Medicare
