Hospital not reliable anymore

My wife is pregnant with our 3rd little one. Two years ago we nearly lost our second baby on 12 weeks. That time the night shift doctor told us that we don't need to wary my wife is still young we can make a lot of babies. She actually worsened my wife's situation by internally examined her with long and sharpened nails.

Now my wife is admitted to hospital and the doctor already told us we should expect the worst. My wife had her shoes on and put her feet on the bed and the sister slap her feet and said her feet must go off the bed. My wife was admitted just before 12 and asked for something to eat and something to drink maybe some coffee but the hospital refused to help her. They said she can walk and get water.

I was sitting with my wife on the bed as two security guards came in the room to let me out. I asked why are they sent to bring me out and why didn't the nurse come to tell me if I didn't know about the visitors hours? I also said that I didn't realize the big board outside because I came from JHB in a hurry to make sure my wife and the baby is all OK. The senior security was quite rude and I didn't like the way they handle the situation.

When I had to leave, my wife was in tears and didn't want to stay. Where is our hospitals going? Are we going to be treated like this from now on?

Other black people are actually sleeping in the sitting rooms of the rooms. There is a sitting area in the rooms by the windows. It is like a separate room inside the rooms for visitors when they come to visit. According to the other nurses just a few days ago when we had my son there said that even for minor things, the doctor just admits people to the hospital.

I am stressed out and I have reason to be while my wife is in that hospital.
