When you come to emergency:
- An emergency room triage nurse will see you when you arrive.
- You may have to wait while the sickest patients are attended to first. We follow national triage standards to assess patient symptoms by priority.
- Have your BC Health Care card handy and bring a list of your current medications.
- Emergency room employees are committed to providing the best quality health care they can. We ask for your patience while we wait for test results, interpretations, consultations and other information to help us diagnose and care for you.
- For those patients who require admission to hospital, our goal is to make your wait for a hospital bed as short as we can.
