bad service again

<p>I went to see my gynie for a papsmeer and a problem that i have been having with heavy bleeding. So doctor does scan and suggest that i must burn my uteris to stop heavy bleeding. So as i phone bestmed for authirisation as was told they first want letters as to see its not a pre existing condition. Send everything and then they come back after few hours and tell me its declined because doctor must first try conservative methods. Now i ask why investigate for one thing and the cant find fault so they decline on another reason. As the doctor said im older 35 and sterilized for over a year thats the only treatment. Only reasons to to help a paying client.</p>

So here we are. One week later and i still have no answer. No what if this was a case of life and death? I guess i would be dead. Yes bestmed services are terrible. I would not reccommend them. And i will for sure be changing my medical aid to discovery in January as they gove good services even if they are a bit more expensive.
