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!

Home Care (WHRA) calls me from that number when someone can't go to give pills, or bath or whatever to my family member that I am 'first call' for.  

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 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

Yes and it's a huge fine if they break this rule. Up to 50,000

Yes, used for all Winnipeg, and Brandon hospitals a WRHA number with many uses. As if someone calls from a hospital, you leave emerg, with out being seen, they call, but can only talk to the patient as its the law of the Personal health Information act. (PHIA). Some people don't want others to know there in emerge or urgent Care for personal reasons, same reason a message can't be left. Also If you are a patient, use one of the emerg. phones to call someone this # will also appear, but can not be called back.

Hey can you please delete this post? Not nice to put his personal name and number out there. He didn't make the rules.
