By the way I spoke in french there. I waited for 6 hours in the emergency for loosing sence in my right foot after having a heart ablation at sacre coeur hospital the day before, they made me come back next day early in the morning for leg ultrasound which showed a clot in the femoral vein of 4.5 cm. I was seen by a dr. who prescribed xarelto, but kept me on marvelon, and thus hemorraging for 3 weeks while having my period. I called her many times like she instructed me, and left many messages in french and she never got back, not even the nurse nor the secretary, I waited but the severity of the hemhoraging was severe so I had to go to the emergency again but this time was through an ambulance and made me wait for 8hrs and in the end the gynaecologist said I was fine to go home with a 103 hemoglobin, and told me not to come again to this hospital for emergency and that next time I had to go to the GLENN. Next day I started having blackouts I would lose some of my vision it becomes darker and darker on the edges then my vision comes back and so on, and my heart would pump so hard everytime I turned in bed, I new that something was really wrong, and went immediatly to the Glenn emergency accompanied by my sister in her car. The dr saw me after 30 min. and told me I was fainting because you lost alot of blood, you are very pale, and admitted me immediatly to a private room in the emergency, my hemoglobin was 73 it dropped further in just one day from 103. It was amazing how fast everybody worked, all the drs I saw immediatly, the gynacologist, the cardiologists, er drs, the screening and tests, I was transported in bed since I was dizzy, and ofcourse were transfused 3 bags of blood for 9 hrs, between every bag they'd take me for tests, xray, ct scan, ultrasound both ways, ultrasound of both legs and heart, which revealed that the blood clot was dissolved after 3 weeks of medication. After Iwas discharged, I was followed by the best drs at the Glenn with Hematoogy and gynaecology. My sister was impressed with the Glenn and compared it to the states private hospitals. And whom ever heard my story agreed that sacre coeur is horrible, even my pharmacist who used to work there.
