Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital

The ED seems pleasant enough for those occasions where you accidentally chop your face off during a marathon chainsaw juggling competition.
Unfortunately during my first visit, they subjected the waiting patients to Dancing with the Stars on the televisions, thus forcing all in attendance into a sequence of violent seizures.
Thankfully the hot chocolate machine works fine. A quick splash of this hot beverage on one’s face results in searing pain which is much preferable to watching celebrity dancing competitions on the telly.

Sir Charles is located a short drive away from the CBD, and it takes up quite a bit of space — part of the hospital has absorbed two streets that used to on its outskirts, and there is an entire underground section that used to be the hospital wards [now abandoned]. Due to its size, Sir Charles can be confusing to navigate at first, although there is a sense of novelty in walking down what used to be a suburban street, now covered with carpet.
Once you orientate yourself, Sir Charles is a excellent, comprehensive hospital. There are specialists as well as an emergency ward, and the doctors in both sections are caring, concerned and respectful of their patients. If I ever needed to visit the emergency department, I would choose to go to Sir Charles.
