I never had need to rush to emergency room ever in my life.This was the first time we took service ,although no one was able to diagnose why I got this unusual symptoms.I just took Ashawganda one time in my life one tablet on 11 aug late at 10pm in morning I took 9 am of 12th Aug ,my usual regular synthryoid pill it was 11th day of my pill I never was prescribed this medicine before .In afternoon,I started feeling heaviness in my both arms and little headache it was getting worse as time goes.Then ,I was checked by Dr.Wong in evening at 7 pm as walk in since no appointment available .Dr wong just told to stop taking synthroid for now & referred me to go primary care clinic for further treatment as he reached his walk in clinic capacity while I still don’t get it my condition was just getting worse from heaviness in my arm it started conversion in nubmness in both arms ,difficulty in walking with severe pain.one side brain left side pain like felt me hell.There was going very scare things to my body & rushed to me emergency midnight 12am-1am on 13th aug I guess my brain is still heavy getting difficulty in memorising things but after visiting dr wong clinic same day at night I went to emergency. I really want to thank everyone in emergency department the receptionist,nurse & doctor who really been quick to provide emergency support and took all test to make sure I am okay!

Got very sick while working in Yellowknife during the winter spent over a week in the hospital nurses were very nice and the Dr listened and sent a referral back to Edmonton and had procedure done within a reasonable time frame without that would’ve been months long wait thank you for taking care of me I’ll never forget it. Care like that is hard to come by I stayed on floor #5 and remember Doug Christine Linda and Lyndsey Thank you again

I was here recently for gallstones from Hay River and one of the nurses I had was incredible. She got me two warm blankets and one warm blanket for my husband when we were there so so late at night and remembered that I like the light off. She also didn't tease me when I called them 'blankeys'. I think she recognized my autism and did her best to make us feel safe and taken care of. I cannot remember her name but all the nurses and doctors here made me feel very safe and prioritized even though there were so many of us.

I wish to thank Dr Affleck and all the nurses, especially those who cared for me during my 3 day stay in emerg before being moved to a regular room. On December 20th I was taken to the emergency department suffering from a lack of breath and difficulty standing or communicating. I was quickly attended to and moved to a private room within emerg, where I was diagnosed with double pneumonia and the flu. Thanks to the prompt attention, by the medical staff and their excellent care, I was able to return to family 4 days later in Yellowknife to celebrate Christmas. This hospital and its staff are a 10/10!

I am visiting from Alberta and was just discharged from A 2 week stay at Stanton. I very impressed with the level of care, and compassion of all staff, and the respect shown to patients. Staff were attentive and looking at what could be done to enhance comfort. It’s a busy place for sure but I saw a lot of cooperation and team work. I was happy with the food service variety. Just want to say that our hospitals down south could learn a thing or 2 about patient focused care. Thank you for the excellent care.
