POSSIBLE WRONG DIAGNOSIS

Health-worx Montana

31 July 24 I was examined by Dr Gouws and was diagnosed with Swine Flu. Miraculously the next morning around 8am, all the symptoms from the previous late afternoon were gone and have not taken any medication yet.

Because I was feeling better I was able to research what had happened to me the previous day and came to the conclusion that I had an episode of Hypothermia, yet was prescribed medication for Swine Flu.

Dr Gouws refuses to even consider or have a conversation about the possibility that she may very well have diagnosed me incorrectly.

This experience broke any confidence to seek medical help when next I fell ill on 13 Sept 24, when it turned out I had Covid Flu.

On the 3rd day with Covid, my 84 year mother also fell ill. 2 Days later my mother collapsed at home and was rushed to Montana ER with an Ambulance.

She spend 6 days in hospital in isolation.

Had I not had the dismissive behaviour post consultation on 31 July 24, I would have immediately seeked help from Dr Gouws (or any Dr at Healthworx) when I fell so ill on 13 Sept 24 with complete different symptoms than 31 July 24.

I did not go see Dr Gouws, because I had no confidence after my previous experience. This is the effect and results it had on my experience from the outcome of the 31 July 24 consultation.

Practice Manager Carin van den Berg and Operations Manager of the Healtworx group, Allen Marimuthu, don't seem to be bothered much about my experience and concerns of possible incorrect diagnosis.

All of their responses so far have been pretty condescending and no interest to investigate further.
