Caller: 788 8588

Received call asking if I refused treatment, I indicate, yes , but did not want to hear that I was there for 5 hours and that I would have to wait another hour before an bladder test need to be performed when there are two doctors attending to me, however, they were earlier shooting the sh*t, while I was still waiting to see-you the same two doctors.

Caller: Don’t know

Phone number not recognized. Left message saying my first name and it is after hours to call back. All family accounted for. Didn’t return call

Caller: (204) 788-8588

I’ve blocked it and still get repeated calls. Says it’s my area code. I have never answered it and from the look of the complaint comments above, I sure won’t. So glad I had call display.

This number has called me several times. I have never been to the hospital nor have I been out if the state I live in. How can we stop these calls. I blocked them and they still call at all hours. I was woke up at midnight from this number. Most annoying person on earth. STOP CALLING ME!

Some lady named Joan just called me after I came back from Victoria Urgent care to ask about my experience. When I said I was very unhappy there she just hang up on me....rude!

by law... hospitals cannot identify themselves to anyone but the person... as PHIA protects pretty much ALL medical information, no matter how menial it may seem.

Very happy about this myself...

The woman who called refused to say who is she with until I confirmed that I was the person she was calling. I hung up.

Hospital call backs for southern MB. mainly Winnipeg and Brandon. leave an ER without seeing a Dr. they call, Someone using a patient phone this # appears, a nurse calling you, etc... Appointment reminders, even for Cancer care Manitoba. A general one number does it all type thing to keep confidentiality and follow privacy rules. Not aloud to leave messages and can only talk to the one there calling for. like a Dr. cant give info. without specific consent from the patient, neither can the people calling from (204) 778-8588, as it is about that specific patient. They will call for up to 24 hours if you ditch the emergency room, to see if your alright, or have gotten treatment somewhere else.

A man called and asked for my daughter By her first name. When I asked who was Calling or what this was about he hung upOn me. I found it very rude! And I'm not gonnaGive some strange man any info on my daughter

Got this call as well for my dad...caller would not say who they were, which I think is a huge problem. Right off the bat you get suspicious. Totally idiotic that they don't identify themselves. I also called Bryan klos at 788-8021. He explained that people will be called, through this number, if they have gone to emergency and left early before seeing a doctor (my dad did in fact do this).Bryan said they should identify themselves, but the woman did not. And she was rude, as many others have noticed. If this woman calls back, I'm going to tell her what I think of her. And really, I am still suspicious of someone who calls and won't say why they are calling...whether they are calling from the Winnipeg Health Authority or not.Why is this their policy? Just say who you are! It's ridiculous!

Those calls come indeed from the hospital, like "Tania16 Feb 2011" said if someone who the caller is asking was in the emergency room but left without a notice, they will call you.
P.S I think they do not disclose any info because they protect the privacy of the person they ask for.

Hope this helps
