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!

This is also the number used for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority's after hours service.  

My girlfriend works as a healthcare aide and often gets calls from this number when her schedule is changed or during emergencies.  Perhaps some people getting calls from this number receive home care services?

Hey Boss Ryan. Thank you for sharing that info. I just got a call from that 788 number and it's garbage that they call. Anyway, I also tried calling Klos back but of course, the stooge is screening his calls and undertandably so. Anyway, thanks again for providing us with that very helpful information

I did indeed walk out of emergency after 6.5 hrs of waiting!.......ridiculous......and it was @ the Vic....just curious though,..why would they be contacting me?...to see why I left?........is it a poll to try and make things better ?number was the same as the others

They are not supposed to identify where they are calling from. It's called PHIA lady, your right to your own private health information. They are supposed to provide their first name.

This is a number one of a few that Manitoba Health uses to call any person who has checked into a hospital then leaves the hospital before consulting with the doctor or before being examined or treated by a doctor at which ever hospital they had tried to check into. Manitoba Health does this all of the time when a person does the scenario I described above. The reason they do this is to check on a person that left the hospital without being seen by a doctor, in order they cover their a***s from being sued in case something should happen afterwords to the person who left the hospital without being seen. This happens a lot ever since the gentleman died in the waiting room at HSC while waiting 48 Hours or more to see a doctor and without being treated.Caller: Manitoba Health

I have never, never waited in the emergency room for only 2 hours. It is always longer (5-6 hours at HSC and closer to 8 at the Vic). That's why internet doctoring is so popular.
