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!

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

received a call asking for my son by his first name, when I stated that he was not home and could i take a message they stated abruptly "no" and hung up.  It was a disconcerting call since my son is underage.

This number is a government number mainly used for The Winnipeg regional health Authority, if you leave an emergency room without being seen. They will call for up to 24/hrs to see if you are OK and have sought other medical care for the reason you were at emergency. because of PHIA (personal Health Information Act) they are not aloud to say anything to anyone, Unless it is the patient there calling for.You may say you're that person, and you will find out the info.The number is also used for other health/GVMT related services connected to WRHA, Such as Well being checks, health links call back if you are disconnected, or to check at a later date how you are, person in hospital making a call, a nurse reminding of appointment, the after hours social services relay program, and Probation's Manitoba. They are not allowed to say who they are, as this would violate PHIA, as that person whom attended emergency might not want anyone to know they were there.(As in a personal/private matter) I call the hospital, or all of them to see if theirs someone I know in there, worked once when a friend was in emergency, and attempting to call, they can't leave messages for the above reasons as well.... To protect the patient I guess. But if the patient asks for a nurse to call and let's it be known there in a hospital this number will also be used, and the Hosp. can relay the message, and give the info, that the patient is in care at that hospital. Also included Urgent Care centers.

The caller did not identify himself and they don't accept return calls.
I am pissed off.

hi i received the same call, did you find out who this call came from 788-8588

this number is the one used when they call you about an appointment with a specialist or for test results.  they can't give information to anyone other than the intended person due to privacy policies set forth by the federal government.
