Disgusted by the service and negligence of Discovery health

The ER completely ignored the letter from my GP who referred me for admission with ICD I20.9 — a serious condition that should never be taken lightly. Yet Discovery and the hospital treated it as if it was nothing.

What are we paying thousands of rands for every month on a high package if Discovery only steps in when it’s too late? It feels like they’d rather let you have a full-blown stroke before taking action.

Tonight, I’m lying in bed still in pain — burning sides from a pinched nerve, blood pressure not under control — and instead of proper care, they send me for a chest X-ray. For what? Pure incompetence from both the ER and Discovery’s so-called “medical advisors.”

Discovery Health, you are failing your patients. You care more about profits than people. You are supposed to save lives, not watch them deteriorate while hiding behind policies and procedures.

To everyone reading this — think twice before trusting Discovery Health with your wellbeing.

The way you treat people will always come back to you. 💔
