Billed infection

Hello Peter<br> I visited a relative in Arwyp hospital in kempton park on the 23 April 2015. I took a visitors chair that was in the corner next to the patient's bed I was visiting,sat for an hour, when I stood up I discovered that I had sat on needle with blood on it. I reported the matter to the nurse in charge who then advices that I take an HIV test and see the Doctor. who then examined and put me on ARV for 30 days at the hospitals expense. it was trauma as I had only gone to visit a relative and cameback with ARV.The doctor refered me to a hospital Psychologist whom I visited few days later. At the beginning of may I received an SMS requesting payment. Shocked as I should be suing for Medical negligence and Trauma I'm experiencing. The has never been an apology from the hospital regarding the incident.<br> Traumatised by the whole situation. I'm still taking those ARVs and they make me very sick for 3 to 4 hours after taking them.my life has been disturbalised by the whole odeal.<br> <br> Regards<br> Ramaru<br> <br>
