Curious about St Joes Rooms in Hamilton
I don't recall seeing any wards, nor do I recall seeing any privates. As I walked the floor after surgery all the rooms seemed to be semi privates.

I was in a former ward room, there were 2 in a room but our neighbors were behind a half wall covered by drapes, so you could hear EVERYTHING they said but could not see them. I also shared a bathroom with the other three.
There was also private rooms. If I had to do it over again I would definitely get the private room. In my room, there was 2 people recovering from emergency surgery and in a great deal of pain and they were also loud with their visitors.
I was in a semi private but had requested a private. They would not give me a private even when some were empty and I was willing to pay for it.
