Discovery forcing Doctors to discharge patients from hospital, when they are still sick, to save money

Hi

My dad, who is 60 years old, was admitted to Lenmed: Ethekwini Hospital and Heart Centre this Monday, as he was feeling dizzy and vomiting. His blood pressure levels were at 230 and he also had chest pains. My dad also had a bypass operation done recently. As I went through to see my dad at the casualty ward, I noticed a person from Discovery Health investigating his blood test. I could see that she is investigating the blood tests, to find loopholes to send my dad back home , even thought he had such high levels in his blood pressure. Finally, the doctor on call decided to admit my dad. From Monday until today, my dad's blood pressure levels have dropped, but not to a safe level, but Discovery Health care is forcing the Doctor at the hospital to discharge an old sick man, although he is still sick. Discovery health care is becoming pathetic, their premiums are going up extremely, but to save money they want patients to get discharged from hospitals even if they are still sick. Discovery Health care does not care about people's lives, they worried about making money. It's sad but true. I will be taking legal actions, if something happens to my dad, whilst at home.

Discovery is gone so arrogant, they still have not contacted me,to resolve this matter. Discovery is gone to the dogs.its all about making money. Peoples lives dont matter to them, what matters to them, is their monthly premiums.
