Entabeni Life Hospital Service Levels

My husband is currently admitted at Entabeni ICU. The selection of nurses differ so the treatment differs with change of shift. Working I an ICU by no means makes you God or gives you the right to disregard visitors or patients for that matter...it's a catch 22 however we both hve not been treated with respect or dignity by a few nurses at ICU ...nd I am appalled. 1 visitor per a patient for some pple, then it 3 for other patients nd sometimes 5 for others but we are treated like kids nd very disrespectfully!

The security at the doors are very poorly managed. I have had a week of different guards allowing me to go wait a few minutes in the icu lounge whilst other guards go chasing after pple calling then bk tovstand at the door? Again...no proper policy in place...ICU visitors must stand amongst 100 other visitors, amongst trauma patients coming in with who knows what nd then when we govto the ICU ward they asked if we sanitized nd we must prevent the patient from getting infection? How contradictory as I could pick up filthy germs just by standing outside with a heard of unknown pple from unknown designations but this is how we keep our patients safe.

Back to cardiac ICU nurses itsxreally not that hard to be polite and treat people like human beings. Not only do others have careers ,degrees nd callings just like you but the fact that they come to ICU for a loved one is already traumatic.

The main switchboard has been down for over 3 days now and there is no notice, no communication by crucial wards like ICU. It rings nd cuts off? Surely a business this huge nd important as a hospital could run a back up line to assist the family in dispear just looking for sme peace of knowing their loved ones are doim ok, if they unable to see them...
