Ambulance service

My brother lives in Cambridge. My brother had phoned the ambulance the day his symptoms were unbearable. He hadn’t slept for two days, throbbing headache, his face was very red, puking, and no appetite. The paramedics said he was “stable” and basically said “we can bring you to the hospital if you want, but you will be waiting in emerg for a couple hours”. At that point my brother was discouraged to go to the hospital. We convinced him this was not normal, but he proceeded to say the paramedics cleared him and he was okay. 3 days passed and he hadn’t slept at all. He phoned the paramedics again, and a small, blonde women was EXTREMELY ignorant. His main complaint was his headache was getting worse and hasn’t eat and slept at all. He also mentioned that he does not remember the past couple days. The women rolled her eyes and said “another one with a headache” and told my brother, “you know stress is a common cause for headaches”, once again discouraging my brother. Luckily, he said he needed to go to the hospital, whether or not this is just a “stress headache”.We went to the hospital and it was confirmed that my brother had a ruptured brain aneurysm. According to the doctor, if he had staid home for another day, he could have been dead.I am also a health care worker in the community and I need to call the ambulance on multiple occasions. The attitude that they would give me is so unprofessional. We are healthcare professionals and we need to work together as a team. You are not more “superior” than me. My patients would tell me something is not right, and yet the paramedics would say otherwise. 95% of the time that I call the ambulance on my patients, I find out from family that they are admitted in hospital. Knowing this is extremely satisfying to me, that my patient and I, made the right decision, despite how irritated and rude the paramedics were.Luckily, my brother is doing well. He had surgery and now will need to stay in hospital for a minimum of 3 weeks, as part of his recovery. After this incident with my brother, I’d rather drive any family member to the hospital my self. Paramedics need to understand that each person calling are scared, sick and vulnerable. These people look up to paramedics for help.My lesson to anybody that has read this, is if you know something is not right, and the paramedic tell you otherwise, just go. You are the only person that knows that something is not right. Despite them being “health care professionals”, clearly they do not know everything.

I watched a grown man (The owner toni) lie to dying people and their loved ones .Toni (yes he spells it with an I" ) is a poor excuse for a human being.While he charges you hundreds of dollars for a 10 KM ride he sits at his house with his tesla.This individual

My wife had something happen. What we dont know yet but when she refused to go to the hospital our daughter called 911. The paramedics were absolutely outstanding. Their thoroughness compassion and professional manner in how they performed was exemplary. Thanm you from the bottom of my heart. Life savers. God bless you all and literally a million thanks. My respect and gratitude cannot be expressed in words.

On 24 of February, I fall in front of my house I couldn't stand up and I was in such pain... when the Ambulance came I was terrified thinking how are they going to pull me up!!? Well nothing easier for Dan and Kayla. Very professional paramedics., funny, empathizing and caring on their job with seriousness. Thankfull for their help.

I received my First aid CPR AED/BLS through saint johns Ambulance at 305 Milber Avenue. Val was my instructor. Val is a great instructor keeping everyone engaged and taking pride in the course and material being taught. Hard core but these are lives we are possibly saving. This was a 2 day course in person.I orginally booked with a place called cpr training 4 u.... learning more about that place and that they are not ligit. I decided to complete my course through Saint John's Ambulance... I'm extremely glad I did!!! Thank you Val for teaching me how to save a life. See you on my 3 year renewal.

My family used Total Care Transport last night to take my mom, who has late stage cancer, from the hospital (OTMH) to her home (Oakville). The 2 employees (man and a woman) that transferred her were thoughtful and pleasant. They treated her like a person and not freight. They were also very fast on this day, and arrived at the hospital within 45 minutes of calling. The nurses said sometimes this can take up to 24 hours. I see some reviews where people were upset about costs. They told me the cost up front ($180 including tax). My mom lives 15 minutes away from the hospital. The total time it took was about an hour from arrival at the hospital, placing her on the stretcher, taking her home, getting her up the stairs and placing her in her bed. If others like myself are trying to make a decision on something as important ss a loved one, I found the experience was excellent and the price to be fair. I share this so if others are in the same situation they'll have one more piece of info to help them along.
