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!

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!

Just rec'd a call from that number, asking for my daughter by name.She refused to tell me who she was when I asked and in turn, I told her I wasn't allowedto tell her whether my daughter was home or not.  She hung up.

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 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.

"Lorin" asked to speak to my wife. Since I was on long distance I asked him to leave a message. He refused citing confidential matters. I asked him the subject he wanted to talk to my wife-he refused and hungup.
