What to expect using the emergency department?

Western Health's Emergency Departments are here to care for people in our community who have a life threatening illness or injury. When your need is urgent - we are there. Such conditions include but are not limited to: any chest pain, difficulty breathing, a sudden servere headache, vomiting or diarreha, large cut or wound, suicidal thoughts, sudden confusion or weakness, or broken bones.
When you arrive at an Emergency Department, you will be registered and seen by a triage nurse. The triage nurse is trained to ensure that the patients who are sickest get seen and cared for first.
If you can, remember to bring your MCP care, a list of medications that you are on (or the bottles) and any records you may have concerning your health.
