Rude nurses that instigate the doctors

On 2nd February 2022 I was transferred from Folateng Hospital to Kalafong Hospital due to OR issues they had encountered at that time. I was then taken to Kalafong for a C-section and I was over 9months and had labour pains….the paramedics weren’t friendly and unfortunately I had to pee but when I asked they answered me very rudely and I just had to “suck it up”…..same bad service upon my arrival at Kalafong,from the ER right through after birth. I was forced by the very rude nurses into breastfeeding while my breasts didn’t produce even a drop of milk for my son then after a day of starving my son when the doctors finally arrived I explained why I didn’t want to breastfeed my baby and even if I could,my breasts just wouldn’t let me…..ok at least the doctor finally said he’d order milk for my son,a few moments went by without any milk for my son and only find out that the nurses at that ward had misled the doctor to not order milk for my son. As soon as I found out I then asked the mommy doctor(the friendliest doctor/person in that whole ward)to sign the RHT and then the doctor communicated with the baby doctor who insisted that my son was jaundiced and he said he wouldn’t approve of my son leaving the hospital…..only to find out that the baby doctor had also been instigated by the nurses in the labour ward,just like the other doctor I asked milk for my son from who took rounds earlier …. My son was now crying nonstop around noon when the doctor that claimed my son was jaundiced went MIA and not answering his phone when I asked the mommy doctor to call him for me…..I then finally got the help of communicating with the baby doctor’s superior and then finally managed to leave the hospital with my misdiagnosed son to a paediatrician specialist…. A month later my RHT n complaint was attended and I was called back to the hospital by a friendly lady from the Complaints office….i was then asked about my progress and I had told her about my recovery but still wasn’t 100 % ok n then she took me for a check-up n there my remaining stitches were removed but after a couple of minutes my stitches had been taken out,I still felt sick and couldn’t breathe properly and I ended up having a numb feeling in my whole right side n then my left eye just went black and when I told the doctor that was still attending my stitches,he just said I should just lay n rest a bit…in a minute he had left the room I then panicked because of my eyesight. I then had to use to toilet n managed to get up and go to the toilet,I then after relieving myself wrestled my way up with my numb right side of my body…I fell instantly on my face when trying to go back to the room the doctor had left me in….i then had to be admitted into the same hospital that only previously provided me only with food n nothing for my son,and no water to bath my newborn or myself…. I then had to spend more time in the Neuro ward bcoz I had been diagnosed with TIA(mini stroke) and only to find out that all the stroke could’ve been prevented and now Im stuck on chronic medication because of that horrible hospital ….which I hate
