VICTIMISATION AND ******

Tonight at around 8pm I was subjected to victimisation and ****** by one of your nursing staff. I'm a patient in ward 15, room no18.

The incident played off in the following manner. I called for assistance to enquire about my drip, whereupon the male nurse on duty responds in a terribly abrupt and rude manner and goes on to make ****** remarks about my ethnicity as a coloured person. I have no idea why he responded to my call in this manner, but I was shocked and horrified that I had just became a victim of what I only read about. This nurse did not even take a look at the aforementioned drip, but instead stood at the nurses station hurling further abuse in front of his colleagues, trying to make an impression on them at my expense.

My second complaint is about the non compliance by the kitchen staff on food delivery. I was identified as a diabetic by means of a yellow tag on my arm to ensure that I'm not served starches which would spike my blood sugar levels. Without fail, each meal served had a starch and lots of salt. The objective of maintaining a low blood sugar level is defeated each time. I have resorted into starvation because the food is pathetic. My healing process is extremely slow due to me not able to consume from your kitchen.

The doctors here are also secretive, they don't give me any information about my prognosis when I question them. Most of Your hospital staff has poor standards and may I add, ****** toward other races. I find it extremely disappointing and unacceptable. I am also talking to the media about this and I hope that you would call this particular male nurse to order. I do not know his name, but he came on duty around 6-7pm. His disregard and disdain for older people of colour is astounding and must be seriously addressed immediately before he does the same to someone else.
