  The Robin's donut shop on the main floor need to have better service, long waits in line. The hospital in general, I recently had an experience with the staff watching over my mother, calls for help; ignored or too long, no help to go to the bathroom, I had to assist my mom, after which closing the door...she fell and that again was another long wait to get staff to get her up off the floor....it was documented and reported as a complaint.

  Unbelievable care and attention to detail. I got the runaround at Southern Ontario hospitals for months - just before I moved north. I had severe stomach pain, and the doctors there did nothing. Thankfully, I didn't give up and attended Thunder Bay General Hospital and after a short wait in the emergency ward wing (3 hours compared to the usual 22 hours in Southern big city hospitals - I was quickly seen to by a physician and instead of being sent home with no diagnosis, he correctly sent me in for a battery of blood, urine tests and a CT scan and thank God he did. I was ready to have my appendix rupture, plus an enlarged abdominal hernia was pushing on my insides, and a blockage was identified in my colon. Long story short - I was rushed in for surgery and I'm alive today thanks to the amazing and talented staff at Thunder Bay Regional Hospiral. I am forever in your debt, and can't thank you enough!

  On July 27th, 2023 my mother died in the care of Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. My family and I have never received answers about her death and we believe she passed due to racism and lack of care towards indigenous people in the health care system. My mother was not only blind but she was a diabetic, receiving Dialysis 3 days a week, and was 71 years old. She had fallen at home two/three days prior, resulting in her breaking her hip and wrist, was brought to emergency right away, then flown to Thunder Bay. (There can be complications and it can be dangerous to go without surgery if left too long.) She had complained the night before she passed the lack of care she was receiving and how sick she was getting, yet was ignored. I believe the health care team waited too long for her hip and wrist surgery, which I think also lead to her unpreventable death. I lose sleep at night about this often, even though some time has passed. My family and I have tried to hire a lawyer but was unsuccessful due to lack of information. I know that the statute of limitations is two years and now I feel hopeless, still left with no answer, justice or an apology. When a health care team fails to give proper care and a patient dies due to that, they should be held accountable or should not be working in that field anymore. The racism and lack of care against Indigenous people in this hospital has to stop, since this has happened, I still have heard horrifying stories of Indigenous people being mistreated at this hospital. This has raised many questions and concerns. How many more people have lost their life due the negligence of this hospital? Why was the last phone call between my mother & father at 1am, yet they found her dead at 5am? Was the nurse not doing their hourly checks? My mom was very ill and vulnerable, she should have been monitored carefully because of her conditions. Truly awful and heartbreaking. I will never forget that this was the way my mom’s life ended. I never got to say goodbye to her.
