Vancouver General Hospital

Thank you! I in and out of emergency in 4 hours. All my tests done. The staff was super efficient and very friendly! Thank you to my nurse Tanya you were amazing!

My mom was in the neurological ward and the level of care she received was also amazing! Thank you to everyone who works at VGH :)

Was recommend to urgently check in to Vancouver General Hospital
The check in process took a bit long, different people wanted to hear my live story and I was happy oblige.
At last I was able to get to my room, they insist I travel everywhere on a stretcher despite my fine motor functions. But It's fine I enjoyed the rides, what a service :)
The room is pretty basic, you have a bed, small table, chair, closet and a night stand. Some of the styling of the furniture doesn't flow that well. For example they have this really high-tech motorized bed that allows you to rest flat or in upright position! The bed looks like came from a spaceship. But the night stand next to the bed looks like stayed here from 80's, just doesn't match the styling of the bed. If they want to impress their guests with they could use some help from an interior designer. For me the furniture is satisfactory.
The bathroom is shared between 4 other guesses, and the single shower room seems to be shared between the whole floor (20-30 people?). I never found shower to be a problem. The towels, shampoo-body wash-soap is provided.
The TV in the room is really old and small, I would advice to bring your own laptop. The wi-fi is pretty slow though, might wanna use your own cellphone data. Also advise to bring headphones, as you could have upto 4-5 people in staying in same room with nothing but a curtain between you.
There is no microwave, and the refrigerator is only available only through a nurse. But the food here is pretty good and they bring the food right into you room. At anytime you can also ask for a sandwich and juice and someone will bring you more food!
At this place they really care about your health so they will wake you up to measure your vital signs at 6am. So I recommend going to sleep around 10pm if possible.
The staff here is really nice and very helpful.

Very efficient nurses, talented surgeons. Treat you like friend and one of your family remember. Taking course ( as student you will feel that better) . The doctor are amazing in terms of privacy, explaining the procedures you intend to to.
I do recommend all in one word: Best hospital in west coast

The different research centers that the hospital has, is amazing! They do have very good works and investigation lines. It is ginormous and has a lot of buildings in the area, an some incredible views. Definitely a great place for prostate research
