king Edward hospital must rethink their hiw to treat certain patients
hi I don't know if I'm disappointed or ****ed I have a respiratory problem & a COPD patient & I was admitted to king Edward hospital N5B ward & when I was discharged... the doctor said if any time I have breathing problems come to the hospital & everytime I went back to the king Edward hospital... the security persons give you a hard time ..... no you must go to Wentworth hospital which is a good half hour away but I tell them I'm going to AMU for oxygen & nebulizer still they act like doctors or nurses & refuse to let you in & I stand there until a nurse comes along & then I'm let in & I'm a wheelchair patient coz my left leg is dead on the 24th Dec also my birthday I was refused entry I live in umbilo 5 minutes away from king Edward hospital & I'm told to go to Wentworth coz they health department regulations so my point is if you can't breathe you must not get oxygen from the hospital there was a time when I lived in Chatsworth & go to RK KHANS & when u go there u are directly taken to asthma room no questions asked for chart & as soon you feel good you can go get your chart the health Minister must educate these security guards some patients must be given priority to enter coz a person can die with respiratory problem & these idiots security don't know about health coz they are ma ching a Langs ( March the lines) so that day my daughter phoned 1 of her friends whose mother has got home oxygen & took me there in Bonela if wasn't for them I don't know what would have happened so security persons are the new doctors who access you at the gates security must do their jobs to guard a hospital not refuse access to sick patients or just call a nurse or doctor from emergency/ trauma unit to assess the patient coz some patients need immediate attention the health Minister must catch a wake up where was security when oxygen pipes was ****** in gauteng leaving people without oxygen the government was talking about health insurance but no idiots security are plain down hastag..... you go to king Edward hospital & see security guards just sit there & don't patrol the hospital grounds they more on their cell phones coz I saw that waiting for uber
