Reviews
Two weeks ago, we welcomed our baby at St George Hospital and had a truly wonderful experience. One of the nurses, Sheyda, was incredibly kind and caring. Her warmth and support made such a difference for us during those emotional and important moments.nWe’re so grateful for her and for the whole team at the hospital. Thank you for your excellent care!
Arrogant but stupid doctors and rude nursesnA typical 15- minutes surgery can easily go wrong and keep you staying longer. The upcoming is one mistake followed a new one and eventually ICU. You must have to be super strong to survive in this hospital. It doesn't deserve any star.
Went there 3 times from December till March in ER , didn't wait long ,service was so smooth and nurses and doctors were extra helpful made me feel at ease,well done to all of the nurses and doctors at st George nd thank you for a. Great service.
I don’t even felt like I was in emergency care I was screaming because of my pain no one asked for any painkiller to sustain my pain…my visitors waited and asked for painkillerI never felt this bad while I was in the hospital… as I noticed documentation was more important than the patient who is bleeding and crying in a panic way from a cut…… and hours and hours of waiting….no one comes to Emergency care/department to wait for 7/8 hours better they go to outpatient department ….and some of the staff were really rude……. Sorry to say this but Me/ Myself being from medical field i am very much disappointed.
We arrived at the Birth Unit on Level 2 at 2am in the morning on the 1st of March, 2025.nnShortly after our child was delivered, we were told by nurses in the Birth Unit - the Shared Ward was full. The Shared Ward is generally a place you are supposed to go after a successful delivery in the Birth Unit.nnThe words we were told by the nurses was, “it was our lucky day” because the Shared Ward was full. Given the Shared Ward was full, we got to stay the night in the Birth Unit. The Birth Unit is nicer with the added convenience I got to stay over with the wifey, who by the way is a very nervous person.nnAnyway after we got this news we made arrangements, a family member made a trip for me home, got me some clothes etc. since i got to spend the night at the hospital with the newborn and wifey.nnThe issue for us started at 11pm at night when a bed became available in the Shared Ward. The nurses literally forced us out of the Birth Unit, and oh boy was it a horrible experience.nnI told the head nurse, I said, “surely you cant be having us move at 11pm, after a gruelling 14 hours of labour, and 7 stitches, with catheter”. The head nurse, her name was Maggie shocked me, she goes, “Ofcourse I can, I can do what I want”. She further goes ahead and says, “this is a public hospital, what do you expect, this is what you get”.nnI said look I am reasonable, I get you are holding these rooms for somebody who may need them but your floor is empty. She said she had to keep the floor empty incase more patients come. I pleaded with her, I said ok what if we leave at 6am in the morning, she said no, i said ok what about let us just rest in this room till 1am, its just two hours more. Wifey can at least get some deserved shut eye with comfort of having me around, Maggie said no.nnThe floor was completely empty by the way. I reckon these nurses basically sweep the floor clean of patients at night, shove them down the bottom in the Shared Ward and hang out and chat at the reception desk. It makes sense, they generally work toward reducing their own overhead by keeping their floor empty and rooms ready. They also have the power to skew the narrative, do something cruel and make it look like its for the greater good to their bosses.nnAnyway after all said and done, this all ended in distressful tears with wifey crying and in pain, she was completely ruined by it physically and emotionally. She couldn’t rest as she was shuffled around with bags and stitches, while leaking blood across the hospital corridor at 11pm at night. I had to leave too as partners are not allowed in the Shared Ward.nnThe ordeal was actually much worse than it sounds because she was on edge the entire time with the added part about a tired and injured mother having look after this newborn. Absolutely horrible experience. The experience overshadowed the happiness of giving birth to our new child. I thoroughly believe no duty of care was given here to us, it was the hospitals own mistake. The hospitals process is clearly forcing these nurses to mistreat patients. The nurses seem to be forced into trying to follow some weird protocol.nnThe nurses are generally very professional and experienced, e.g., there was a nurse, I think her name was Dora. She was clearly super experienced, probably among the most professional and caring midwives we have ever had.
