    Summary: Don’t go here unless your child is in a life or death situation. As an expat swede, proud of the Swedish health system I was deeply disappointed today(while on vacation in Sweden). Our daughter had a serious sprain or fracture of her arm so much so that she could not move or squeeze anything. 3h of waiting before X-ray 8h of waiting and still no dr, specialist or even a X-ray tech. We asked every hour if we should stay and response was always there is someone before us?! So why not send us home or to another hospital? Astrid Lindgren would not be proud to have her name on a hospital that care more about EU tech awards and research grants than the care of children.

    Worst experience with Swedish medical system here. Don’t go if you’re not Swedish or your child is not extremely sick. Waited for 5 hours and people who came 3-4 hours after us were seen by doctor first as we were given the lowest priority even though my daughter was much sicker and in worst condition than most who came after us and were seen before. I can only label that as discrimination against non-swedes. We should have just been told go home instead of making us suffer for hours. In the end we just left without seeing a doctor.

    Yesterday my daughter rolled over on her face. She injured herself, lost her eyesight for 20 minutes. We went to Akut na Rinkeby and there she started to vomit. The doctor who examined her decided she needed more research. He called an ambulance and unfortunately we were taken to this hospital. We had to wait for the doctor and waited for over 7 hours. He came only when I was nervous and I told them that it was taking too long. I was informed that there are still patients who need urgent care and my daughter is not one of them. After 7 hours of nue, no examinations were made, no head x-rays were taken, and she was sent home with instructions on how to observe concussion and alvedon. I will never go back there, it's the worst hospital and the worst approach to patients

    Worst Service I have ever experienced, waited for 3.5 hours, when I enquired about my turn there was no guarantee when they will call me, no attention or no responsibility, they work in there own pace.. does not care...why patients have reached out for emergency. If they don't have staff or resources 1177 should not redirect patients to this hospital..

    Discrimination at its peak in this place. If you are not swedish. Don't take your child there. You will wait 9-10 hours while other people comes visits the doctor and leave. And your kod will suffer.

    Worst . Very bad experience. Even I saw that discrimination what people mentioned in below comments. I am not sure whether their situation was worse but I didn’t feel it was worse looking at them. We waited almost 3 hours and returned home without seeing doctor because my kid was tired. Emergency and waiting period is 8 hours, 3 hours. It’s a laughingstock . Kudos to the Swedish medical system.

    Had an excellent experience this morning when we came in with our 1 month baby who has RS virus. We were met by such a friendly and knowledgable nurse. He made us feel very safe and he took such good care of our baby boy. Thank you!

    I always have bad experiences here.. one time i waited 9 hours .. then they discover that my son needs to be hospitalized! What a shame Another time .. again 4-5 hours .. they don't provide anything and then go home .. Today i called 1177 to avoid visiting this place.. and 1177 told me to go immediately to the emergency.. in there they didn't even perform any tests it any checks..just go home and give Alvedon... It's a shame that they spend so much tax money on the lousy place

    These trisomic hospital managers don’t care about your child. 10 hours waiting and still no sign of life. No food, no drink- NOTHING. DO NOT COME, DO NOT STAY.

    They have time for coffee breaks and gossiping with colleagues.We waited 6+hours to be told go home if you wish. There was another baby in opposite room more serious,the baby was crying and coughing constantly and they were waiting before us. This is not the 1st time we had to wait but this will be the LAST

    Caring nurses and doctors. Can take a while to be attended by a doctor but nurses do triage quickly. Was there twice, felt safe while waiting and left relieved. Thank you!

    Avoid at all costs! Believe me. Waited for 12 hours. No food anywhere near. Just a machine were you can buy candy and sodas. Horrible place sitting there with a sick child. And some of the staff are rude and mean!!! Small place and crowded, sick kids are playing with hospital toys (ever heard of covid?). If you are not ill already, you will become ill spending time there. I will try my very best to NEVER EVER have to go back there. Worst hospital experience ever.

    You need to plan to be here at least 5-6 hours in total and bring lots of snacks. And most of it will be spent sitting in the waiting room or in a secondary waiting area or in a room. This is our second visit. First: daughter with broken arm, we did have to wait a lot but the whole thing: 2 x rays, examination, casting and waiting was 5.5 hours. They had us come back 2 days later to realign the bone under sedation and that was about 4 hours in total. Aside from the waiting the doctors and nurses were all great. Today we came for a concussion, we were told to come if symptoms didn’t resolve or got worse. We have been here almost 9.5 hours and although we were seen quickly by the triage nurse, it’s been 3 hours of waiting in the hall, with my child not tolerating light and noise and very dizzy, then finally told to come into an exam room where the doctor will see us, and have now been sitting here for another 6.5 hours. The nurses at the station cannot say how long it will be to see a doctor. I had to go to them to request water as my child (and I) is hungry and thirsty. If we get no testing and just told nothing but rest and Alvedon after all this time I will scream. Update: doctor finally came after 7 hours waiting in the examination room. She was very nice, but the almost 10 hour wait left a terrible impression.
