Prince Albert

My girlfriend and I recently spent upwards of 6 hours one night at the Victoria Hospital because she was experiencing abdominal pains. We spent about 3.5 hours of our time there sitting in the waiting room. While we were waiting to be called a convict from PACC was brought in and treated immediately and was finished and gone before we had been called in. Also while we were still waiting a vagrant came stumbling in reaking of listerine and he was also treated before we were called in. Why are the taxpayers being made to wait and the criminals and substance abusers given priority? In the end we finally got back home around 5am and I had to work at 7:30am that morning now on next to no sleep. Not impressed.

Every day when I drive by the Tim Hortons on 2nd Ave there are a number of cars parked in the turning lane. There is clearly a sign posted say 'do not park on 2nd Ave'. I have see accidents and many almost accidents, when do we make people accountable.

I came into the hospital about a week ago after falling and seriously hurting my left knee. I arrived at 930 pm and waited very patiently until my turn to get into the emergency room at 3:30 am. Once there not once did a nurse come in and ask me how I was doing. I waited in the actual emergency room until 530 in the morning. Still hadnt spoken to a nurse or a doctor. Finally after becoming irritated I stood up put on my jacket and hobbled to my vehicle and went home. I am sure that they could have asked me if there was anything that they could do to help make me feel more comfortable. The triage nurse reported me as Semi-Urgent on the triage form. It is to the point know that going to the hospital in Prince Albert only does one thing... and that is stops you from recieving a full night of sleep.

People have been drinking constantly in the riverbank westside area. I walk home everyday from school and i get bothered by drunks for smokes and if i dont have one they try to fight me and others who walk along the park. Families like to get away from home to have a nice stroll along the riverbank and to get bothered by drunks. These four guys surround me and one is trying to get behind me to pull out a knife to stab me. Now this is the kind of non-sense we shouldnt have in our community parks for people who have normal lives and families to go home too, these parks are there for us to enjoy and take a stroll and see the river. There has got to be more patrollers on bikes maintaining the riverbank area. Please help change to save the riverbank and park area from alcoholic`s ignorantly trying to bother and causing unwanted problems. We love our parks and river to be drunk and needle free. This may be a while before we stop them but we can sure start somewhere! thanks for your time! god bless.

When will the city actually do something to correct this problem?!? It's not right that we should have to be concerned about children playing in a park because there might be needles. Also, it is not the responsibility of the person who finds the needle to dispose of it properly. No one is paying us, we aren't covered if we catch somethign from it. This is disgusting and I am sick of finding needles!! keep it clean!

I know this has been posted before, but I think PA Now needs to better censor the comments posted on the website. I agree everyone should be entitled to free-speech, but when given anonymity the comments get rude and racist. Obviously if email addresses are posted with comments, people will start receiving hate-mail, but something needs to be done to prevent the vile comments some people leave.
Would having to submit comments for review before being posted on the website help? What are your thoughts and suggestions?
