I had been on 5 north in the hospital working out medications and treating my PTSD. Tonight I was…read moredischarged. It started with me having to move rooms I was scared and didn't want to. I freaked out today and screamed and slammed my doors.then I said fuck you to the head psychiatrist after he told me that I wanted everything that ****** did to me. And asked me if we were in a sadist machinist relationship. I Got so upset and yelled at him and said I was raped by him. And abused and confined. I suffered concussions broken nose and may other things. He then went on and on about how there had to be a reason I wanted to stay and that I liked it. He then told me that I dont have ptsd or anything else i just have a behavioral problem. I told him he shouldn't even be a psyciatrist and that i was going to go home and kill myself and he said okay and discharged me. . Also this man met with me for no more then 15 minutes. He isn't even my psychiatrist. I do not recommend this disrespectful man to anyone. Especially those suffering with PTSD, stockholm syndrome, or depression. Very traumatic experience. He is horrible.

Overall, I have had positive experiences at Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) over the years. I…read morehave had medical appointments here. I have also had surgery, as has my mom. My dad has escaped a stay (knock on wood!) at this hospital. I did a couple of nutritional sessions with a dietician at this hospital over a decade ago. I got a referral by my doctor and it was two sessions that proved helpful. I enjoyed the field trip that we did to the Loblaws nearby and learning how to effectively read nutrition labels on products, along with in-classroom instruction. These sessions were helpful guiding me in losing sixty pounds and keeping most of it off to this day. I have also seen a rheumatologist and an ophthalmologist at MSH. The former was to rule out a finding from my bloodwork. The latter was similar, to rule out a detail found in an x-ray. I had surgery at this hospital over a decade ago here. The process to check in, change, get anesthesia administered, have surgery, go through physiotherapy, and gradually return to my normal self was thoughtfully planned. My surgeon was awesome, who scheduled a couple of post-surgery appointments to make sure that I was on the mend and got my staples removed. I was a patient for four days. The meals were okay. I obviously survived. I looked forward to them because I'm just that type of person. I chose the diabetic plan because I wanted less sugar. I also knew the food drop-off schedule like clockwork... haha! Staff were competent, from the nurses and doctors, to the radiologists and various interns. No complaints. My mom also had surgery here. Her stay was a bit longer, but she was made to feel comfortable. She also had a physiotherapy component. The wait times can be extremely long. Even with an appointment, I remember my appointment being at least two hours in length, with most of it being a wait. It's paid parking. You basically pay at a kiosk. If you are lucky to have someone drop you off and pick you up, you'll save a bit. For my last appointment post-surgery, my dad dropped me off and picked me up. It was great, but trying to let him know when my appointment was nearly done was tough to predict. As with most hospitals in Canada, if it's for an emergency, expect a wait. Triage at MSH is much better than at other hospitals in the GTA, such as Toronto Western and Birchmount (formerly Scarborough Grace). Many factors are at play, from how many doctors are on staff to see patients, to the severity of the health issue. I booked COVID-19 shots for my parents in a building next to the hospital during the height of the pandemic. My parents were pleased with how things went. My dad didn't complain, so things went smoothly and they got their shots together. It's a decent hospital. I am thankful for the care that my mom and I have had. (45)

There are a lot of parking lots but most of them require you to pay hourly or you can purchase the daily/weekly pass. There is a Tim Hortons inside - very convenient. The doctors and nurses there were great and very tentative. They provided a lot of support and encouragement.

In 2012 or 2013, I was experiencing severe pain in my lower back. I expected to have these spasms…read moreabout twice every year and it took about six weeks to calm down and make life bearable again. On this particular occasion, it wasn't showing much improvement over the six weeks and I was desperate for relief. I found Back Clinics of Canada on the internet and scheduled a free consultation, bringing my X-rays with me. I met Ron who explained in detail what was going on and how he could help over 20 sessions. I agreed to move ahead on the spot though it was not inexpensive. However, life without a functioning back is no fun at all so I rationalized it as an investment in myself and my future happiness.. The first three 22 minute session were noticeably painful but by the time I left the clinic I was no longer in pain. By session six I could feel a real improvement and I looked thereafter forward to each session. It was fun to talk with other patients while in the heating area and to hear about and see their progress as well. Almost everyone I spoke with had a similar experience as mine, real improvement after half a dozen sessions. After session 20 I was given some exercises to do. I did some but not all of them but I also did older back exercises that I was familiar with. The long and short is that it is now six or seven years later and I have not had a single lasting spasm during that time. Occasionally I overdo things and my back will hurt for a day but I've never been close to the situation I was in for many years before doing the program. The exercises are key and I believe they've helped me strengthen my back to the point where I won't have severe back pain again. So while the program is not for everyone and is costly, it's a great option for those who don't know what to do next. Surgery is something I would never want to have and knowing there is an option that can actually reverse back pain and keep it that way, is something I am truly grateful for. That's my story and every word is true.
