********** activity and ********* conduct by Doctor , Nurse and Admin staff
On the 27th of October 2019 at approximately 23:00 , I got injured at work I fell while climbing a ladder . I was transported to Kingsbury Hospital by ambulance. I sustained neck and back injuries do to the fall . I was informed by the nursing staff of the hospital that no treatment will be given by the hospital until I.O.D paperwork was present . This is the against the ethics of the H.P.C.S.A as any person request medical treatment should receive it. My family was woken up and my sister brought the correct paperwork to the Hospital . I was in an extreme about of pain and the staff refused to treat me without paperwork, I was approximately 2 to 3 hours in pain while treatment by the hospital was refused . After receiving the paperwork requirement, I received treatment and removal of my P.P.E . My sister took my Fire gear home and waited for a call to collect me at the Hospital . The I.O.D case was opened and the hospital originally made it an I.O.D case but during the course of the morning decided to make me a private patient which means for the cost of the medical expenses would come to me instead of being a I.O.D . Kingsbury Hospital is fully aware that it is a I.O.D yet the handed me over to NuDebt management for collection of the funds and NuDebt management has listed my name on the ITC for none payment .
In consultation Kingsbury Hospital failed to treat a patient requesting medical assistance due to no paperwork, it is a ethical violation. ********** changed my account from a I.O.D into a private patient without a reason.
