Eugene marais hospital is pathetic and ***********

My mom was rushed to hospital at 6am on the 26th of October 2022. She has severe chest pain, struggling to breath and numbness in her left side of her arm she is a high risk for a stroke and heart attack. Upon arrival we informed the hospital that her cardiologist is at zuid Afrikaans but because of the pain we couldn't make it all the way there. The trauma Dr, Dr Marie did test and a ECG, she couldn't even read the ECG as she didn't understand it, according to her the blood test was normal and my mom's pain was a result of reflux when my mom asked whether she should phone her cardiologist to enquire about what she should do next Dr Marie told her to not waste her time and money. She gave my mom medication for the apparent reflux and it spiked her blood pressure when my mom asked her whether it is normal she told my mom to stop asking questions and let her do her job, my mom asked her whether she has knowledge of cardiology which she then said she didn't my mom asked her to remove the drip so we could take her to zuid Afrikaans, she refused and my mom then removed her own drip when my mom left Dr Marie told her to not come back there. After 4 hours at Eugene marais they couldn't manage to do anything and we received no feedback except if we asked. We had phoned her cardiologist which insisted we take her to zuid Afrikaans upon arrival at zuid Afrikaans her blood pressure was extremely high which is abnormal for her as she has low blood pressure the nurses at zuid Afrikaans looked at the same blood results Dr Marie said is normal and told us that there is something serious wrong, 2 hours into doing test and she was admitted at the hospital. She is currently in hospital and the doctor is busy running test as he is concerned for her health. Dr Marie was rude and *********** and should rather not attend to patients as she has no way of talking to patients.
