Doctors, *most* nurses, and anaesthetist in paediatrics were awesome. They deserve 10/5. However, if someone has their curtain closed in a 4 bed room, you don’t reef it open all the way without asking. Kids have the right to privacy too. You did it to 3 kids just in the room we were in, how many others?

Had apendicitis and was made to wait in the surgical waiting room for over 12 hours on sunday after being told to be there before 8 am, 24 hours fasted. I had my admission papers, the surgeons werent told i was there, the nurse that came out several times to get all the other patients did not check on me or look at my papers even once. Told me i was bumped off emergency surgery list and just had to wait.
Once the surgical team realised i was there , they were great and I was operated on within the hour.

A huge “Thank you” to all the staff at the Wagga Base Hospital, after a recent visit I was treated with nothing but respect, can’t speak highly enough of my care.
Special mention to medical student Yan, she was so amazing, also to Keiran who put me at ease, and everyone else involved in my care.
This was in emergency, a bunch of Angels😇thank you for your kindness and professional care.

Emergency service is not an emergency service. Been at the ED since the morning. Waiting on a bed for my child. At almost 9pm still no room available and staff just keep saying another couple of hours to wait. Had to go and get something to eat as well. Very disappointed. Seems like someone will die in the ED due to the long wait

Racist, unprofessional, bush thinking, untrained. I got kicked out because I am black. no infection control.
One nurse in particular, Who took my blood and messed up the process, I believe she is only there because she is white, but she is not smart at all, seemed retarded.

Worst hospital I’ve ever been too! Staff are rude and can’t even handle a simple task like pain relief. Left with open wound for days without even them cleaning or covering it. Wound was to the bone on X-rays.

I have been a patient in a psychiatric ward in Katoomba and Nepean, not several times but the care and after care in Wagga is way above those. They got time to listen and have real compassion. I had a fall, my own fault by not using my walker to get back to the bathroom. I really hurt myself and everybody was very concerned but… nobody told me off!

Look! Unsurprisingly, the first point of contact, the uncooperative current switchboard team, is very harsh on people, regardless of who they are, trying to use a service through them, even though there's been a slight change. Unfortunately, their line is, for some reason, unclear and frequently disconnects calls, especially cell calls, when transferring or trying to connect you to a unit or other areas. This is unacceptable due to the administration's management; it is unclear why constructive feedback does not seem to be reachable or why improvements are not considered based on ongoing informed experiences. And I'm referring to second hand or more than one period of experiences with great unfortunates unimaginably sometimes very unprofessionally with somebody who is well aware of what they can do and should do on very important matters not sure either would told to not assisted by someone little higher who wouldn't care anyways, as matter of fact occionally very unethical to the point either hanging up on you or just transfering to a different they feel it is needed or want or just simply hang up once knowing it is somebody who is constantly need not even to remind you but just move on for the sake of priority and time importancy and help themselves do what needs to be done taking my own time.

Nevertheless, further information exists, but its disclosure is currently constrained by verification limitations. While committed to mitigating negative impacts, patience is wearing thin due to the protracted and opaque timeframe for resolution, particularly given the lack of transparency regarding holiday schedule adherence. Although occasional delays near public holidays or on Friday afternoons are understandable, the significance of this matter demands immediate attention, rather than abrupt interruptions of conversations. I will provide a more positive update shortly. I anticipate collaboration with relevant personnel, including general management, to prevent future occurrences of this nature :).
