Reviews
Geelong University Hospital has shown nothing but negligence and contempt in my treatment. As someone with a terminal neurological condition, I expected compassion and professionalism, but instead, I’ve been met with arrogance and outright malpractice. Despite being on prescribed medication for over two years, which has stabilized my condition, they have deliberately withheld it due to a personal vendetta involving a specific doctor. This is not just unprofessional; it is inhumane.nnI have been accused of drug-seeking behavior without any justification, purely based on their biases. Rather than addressing my actual medical needs, they tried to force unsafe medication on me, knowing it could endanger my life. The attached photo of my vital signs demonstrates how unwell I truly am, yet the staff’s dismissive and hostile behavior shows they have no interest in helping patients.nnThis hospital does not care about patient well-being. Instead, they seem intent on punishing those in need. I wouldn’t trust them to care for anyone in a vulnerable state. Their behavior is not just unprofessional; it’s cruel. Avoid this place if you value your life or dignity.nPictured below is a urinal bottle that fell off the table, The nurse goes,nMy colleague can take that and walked off letting it leak all over the floor
On top of waiting 3.5 hours to even be seen by a doctor or nurse. We then were moved back to waiting room for results then an hour later moved to the patient care area to get results, only to wait a further 3 hours for results, then to be kicked out back to waiting room because the doctors took too long, only to be bought back in 5 minutes later. I understand being understaffed but this was just completely ridiculous.nEdit: results for tests were given to staff at 9:30 pm, we were waiting until midnight to receive them. Again I understand being understaffed but the more efficiently results are given, the quicker patients get better and can leave and the less people assigned to a single nurse or doctor.
The wait times in emergency are absolutely ridiculous. We went to Barwon North first, yet they don’t have strong enough sedation for an adult to do a reduction for a broken wrist. So they sent us to Geelong Hospital Emergency. Two and a half hours at Barwon North and currently Five and a half hours and still waiting. Definitely not enough staff on. The staff are run off their feet..once seen the staff were amazing.
Currently been in hospital for 10 days for a knee infection which has involved two significant surgeries. All the staff here have been absolutely brilliant they are kind and compassionate and work with what little funding they receive. Sadly the amount of code greys aggressive behaviour towards the nurses and doctors from some feral patients is disgraceful. The staff here shouldn’t suffer this abuse it is no wonder there is a nursing shortage. Special thanks to all the kind staff on Level 5 Heath Wing.
I’m not sure if any of the management will see this, but based on other reviews, it seems that positive experiences here are rare. I regret not checking the reviews beforehand—had I done so, I would never have gone.nThis was our first visit to an ED in Geelong, and unfortunately, it was deeply disappointing. My daughter, who is just shy of 16, was experiencing excruciating upper abdominal pain. We arrived at the hospital at 12 AM and waited for over three hours, despite there being no other patients in the queue and receiving no updates.nWhen we were finally seen, the nurse was extremely unfriendly, making us feel unwelcome. The doctor showed little effort in diagnosing my daughter’s condition, simply prescribing multiple pills and, after a long wait, dismissing us with no real resolution—sending my daughter home still in significant pain 7/10.nThe following morning, we went to a private ED, and the contrast was astounding—professional, compassionate, and efficient care.nThe level of service we received at this hospital was utterly unacceptable. I sincerely hope I never have to visit again.
