It's striking red brick facade and high spires make it the most striking landmark on Upper Baggot street. It was built in 1832 and part of it's history involved treating wounded soldiers from the first World War. Nowadays it offers services for mental health, physiotherapy and addiction treatment. Well worth the 15-20min walk from the top of Grafton street. It overlooks a gaggle of coffee shops, so you can enjoy a drink and admire the building. The canal is a stones throw away so afterwards you could take a potter down there.

So, next time look up and check out the cool weathered copper look-out tower and hope that you never get locked in during a storm.

You walk home full of laughs when suddenly you pause and turn to each other and say: "Is that a naked man running?" And viola you are lying on the ground and when I came to my friend was passed out with a bloody mouth on the street. Thankfully some good Samaritans took control of the situation. The ambulance man was fantastic and so where the nurses and doctors as they got a great kick out of the fact that a naked man ran us over. The receptionist was awful, extremely rude, unpleasant woman that got an attitude with my dazed friend because she had the temerity to spell her last name for her: "I can spell you know!" Of course I lost it with her and told her to learn some manners. A fascinating insight into the Irish psyche as the place was populated with mainly drink related incidents. Something very socially vacant about that. I wonder will Diageo pick up the bill? My friend is grand yet my ass has a huge bruise on it which makes sitting rather annoying. Beware of a naked lunatic running the streets of Dublin who has a tiny package. Complete eejit.

Junkies using drugs in the toilets you could get the horrible smell of it in the waiting room. Came in suicidal etc they gave me prescription for useless depressant tablets and told me to get on with it, refused to diagnose anything, Sadly I won't come back here the level care for suicidality and obvious mental health issues is incompetent and useless. The staff can see people sooner there often sitting in the office doing nothing anyways. The mental health services in this country are so bad, been in hospitals all over dublin and even discharged either given a prescription or or help lines sheet and thats it thanks to fine fall and finnana gael ruining the country, All in all very disappointing, clearly government is at fault. Won't set foot in here again the wait times are terrible.

No follow up care since. No query as to my symptoms worsening or improving. Hospital Nurses and Dr amazing but the emergency department is no longer fit for purpose. Its too small, over crowded and cramped. People on trolleys packed in like sardines. Dr and nurses constantly shuffling trolleys jus to make contact and get to side of a patient to examine them. People in A&E tying up beds in A&E because they cant be admitted to wards, during the night. Knock on effect. A&E staff have no space to work with patients out in waiting rooms Also think the computer system is inadequate and outdated. Im witnessing to many Dr spending far too much time sitting at computers instead of carrying out primary care function. Whichvis seeing and evaluating patients. Bring a sleeping bag, pillow, phone charger, food and water with you. So you can lie down on floor while you wait. It will be more vomfotable than chairs provided and some seating is outdoors in a tent that was temporarily erected to deal with covid but is now in everyday use.

I was here recently to do some follow up investigations on some medical complications I had been…read morehaving. When you first arrive into the building, it can be a bit overwhelming and confusing, however the people working at the receptionist desk were SUPER helpful each time in making sure you were in the right place, and directing you where you needed to go. In case you can't find the receptionist desk, it looks like a weird turquoise cone. The first time I went, I saw a specialist. The staff were helpful, and I didn't have to wait long. The specialist I saw was also very attentive, and and actually took time to answer all my questions and listened to what I had to say (as opposed to some doctors who seem to just want to get you in and out). The second time I was there, I was in the day care unit having a bunch of tests done. Everything was thoroughly explained before it was done, and everyone made every effort to make sure I was as comfortable as possible (considering the tests I was having done). I'm a bit scared of needles, but each person who had to prod me was very good at keeping me distracted and making the needle part of the tests quick. The only downside, or frustrating part, was that when I arrived at Day Care, apparently they told EVERYONE in day card that day to arrive at the same time, and I had to wait a little bit because my bed wasn't ready yet. If I have to have tests or follow-ups in the future would be very happy having them done in this hospital. The nursing staff is great, supportive, and extremely nice.

I recently had a mole on my leg that my dermatologist recommende…read mored removing for biopsy. I was a bit apprehensive because I had previously undergone a similar procedure on my back for a very small mole, which left a noticeable scar despite only requiring three stitches. This time, the mole on my leg was also very small, so I was hoping for a careful and minimally invasive procedure. However, while filling out the pre-procedure form, the nurse assisting me confused "left" with "right" and mentioned she was very tired at that point in the day. I remember thinking I hoped she would not be the one performing the procedure -- but she was. The result was disappointing: such a tiny mole ended up leaving a scar that required four stitches that looked more like veterinary stitches, or when you mend clothes, very poorly done.I I even consulted my GP to ask if the stitches could be redone for a better cosmetic outcome, but was advised against it. Now I am left with large, unattractive stitches which will leave a scar. Beyond the technical aspect, I also found the overall attitude and communication lacking empathy and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience left me with the certainty that I will not return to this dermatology department for any further procedures. It is a pity, as patient care and compassion are just as important as medical treatment.
