I've now had two awful experiences at this hospital . I've noticed that if you not 40 and older or under 18 this hospital won't help you. First one: a couple of months ago I got sent to fast track for abdomen pain I was told by the doctor that his words where (what do you want me to do about it) I then had to beg for a scan which he referred me to a outside radiology place and told me to leave. Second one: I was rushed in a ambulanceto the emergency department for abdomen and chest pain , the paramedics and the two doctors that where helping me where lovely but the doctors did not communicate to the triage nurse's that when I needed to go to the bathroom with heart monitor cords still on before my next IV drop that I was allowed to go back in the room after, but the nurse wouldn't let me back into where my belongings where and told me to sit in the waiting area with bad stomach pains and could barely sit with a IV drip and my bag placed next to me. I was then discharged 2 hours later in the early morning with not being any better because of doctors and nurses shift change and was told I didn't belong in the emergency area and to go home with the same pain , high blood pressure and a high temperature.

For psychiatric care NEVER go to ward 1A of port macquarie base hospital. not only was i misdiagnosed, i was put on incorrect medication for the last 2 years, copious amounts of trauma with what i went to and weas forced on under 'their' care. Lost myself, gaained weigth and now i will have medical problems for the rest of my life. 110% harm caused by the ward not listening and understanding. My life is pretty much over.

I've had a week in PM Base. Dr's & nurses have been wonderful. The absolute highlight was the care, sense of humour & wonderful personalty shown by Amanda on Ward 1-C. Nothing was a problem & she helped make "time fly". Thanks Amanda... you're a great nurse & a fantastic person. Cheers, Dave

Visited ED yesterday and Dr Amelia was very professional and took time to listen to and take my concerns seriously. Their ED triage system is excellent. I try to avoid clogging up public system but what can you do when the wait for a GP is two weeks and you absolutely canโ€™t wait๐Ÿค’ You can check waiting numbers online. Parking is free and I always get a spot. It was horribly hot in the alternate waiting room I was sent to with horrible noisy portable air conditioners. But hopefully temporary for poor staff and clearly fixable.

Two years ago I started to suffer blackouts. I was finding myself getting bad injuries such as a spiral fracture in the foot. Then they stiopped, but four weeks ago they returned causing a head injury and facial injuries. I came into Port Base Hospital by ambulance the paramedics were great. The emergency unit, the nurses the doctors were brilliant. But my stay in ward 3D was incredible. The staff from the nurses to the house keeping and Kitchen staff were freindly , polite and went out of their way to make sure you were comfortable. I have to tell you I was amazed. Well done 3D.

We visited Antenatal for our upcoming birth at Port Macquarie Base Hospital. Krystal and Lara the midwife were so welcoming, kind and helpful. Very happy to be in good hands for our first child. A very good service, and a nice Ward/rooms for birthing. Thank you. **Update** We birthed at the hospital. Our delivery midwife and doctor were amazing! Thank you Kristy and Jana. We couldnt have done it without you. You really helped Tamara andI through a tough but amazing time. The birthing room was great, with all the options easily available to us.

Absolutely appalling!! Last year I suffered a severe concussion, after that concussion I experienced passing out episodes and some seizures. I would go to the hospital in one of my episodes unconscious and nothing could wake me, I would then get sent home being told nothings wrong with you just rest. Each episode then became more serious I would start to lose the use and strength in my legs so wouldnโ€™t be able to walk properly for around 24-48hrs. Sometimes my arms would go weak. I would attend the hospital with these symptoms and get told to go home because they canโ€™t help me. Start of November this year, i experienced a pretty big episode that lead into a small seizure, when i woke up I couldnโ€™t walk, talk, or use my arms as well. We waited a few days for my walking and it didnโ€™t come back like it used to, i then went to the hospital in a wheelchair as i couldnโ€™t use my legs. Once I arrived and seen a dr I got told that itโ€™s not life threatening Iโ€™m not gonna die from it and that I need to see a physio because they canโ€™t help me. Around 2 days later we went back as nothing was getting better and got told the same thing your fine nothings wrong go home. Three days later I had a physio appointment and he told me that I need to go back to hospital right away as it isnโ€™t right. We then went back and told them that we arenโ€™t leaving until we get some answers I still couldnโ€™t walk or use my arms. They did some testing on me and told me again nothings wrong try and see a neurologist as they donโ€™t specialise with the brain and that they donโ€™t have a neurological dr at port base.At this point I had given up on the medical system. When we saw the neurologist I was then diagnosed with FND ( Functional Neurological Disorder) to this day I still canโ€™t walk

On every occasion I have been there, I have had a positive experience. From the triage and reception to the nurses, doctors, and all other staff, compassion, care, and calmness are always shown. Very lucky to have all these people helping the community. They are the silent heroes and deserve recognition for what they do every day.
