Still waiting for Lancet

They had escalated the matter to Doctor for respond, at moment, I can only complain with the lady who phoned, I think because I can't afford to sue, after speaking with that lady I felt more irritated, can you imagine going all out explaining, and then the answer is I don't have answer, I waisted about 30 minutes taking to that lady man. But I need answer I will try to be patient I doubt these people understand pain and suffering, they took the joy we were looking forward to, Lancet said they tested my wife again without our permission, my wife refuse that she was tested an again I asked who will pay for those test because mvozo medical aid refused to cover those test those retests, and why none of us were informed after or even before now must owe them, even after my son DR said they will test my son day after he was born and she also never mention that to me as the only Dr who took time to came an explain the progress of my son, I was at hospital from 06:55am until about 16:00 pm,

Good Day Mr Rabuthu I trust that you are well. Please note the reason for the second Covid test was done on your Wife is because Dr Aigbe requested Covid PCR on the placenta. The second test was not a test for the mother but for the baby because the virus may have potentially may have been transmitted to the baby. Even if the baby is negative there may have been some damage to organs and the virus may still be found in the placenta. Hence the reason Lancet performed the test on for the second time. Regards
