Horrible Dr Experience and patient management
I was admitted to casualty before 7am 02/06/2020, due to severe abdomen pain, within that first day, a series of blood tests were taken, a COVID test was taken and I underwent a Sonar to try identify what the cause of my severed pains are, feedback indicated that I’m experiencing an infection on one of my organs, I was to wait to be helped last that day because I had not yet been cleared for COVID, which makes sense because the facilities would need to be deeply sanitized to mitigate the risk of getting or spreading the disease. 4am 03/06/2020 I was woken up to be informed I was COVID clear and that I would be moved to a ward which was done that early which was great, I was introduced to a ward with 3 other gentlemen, during the course of the day, I kept asking when I’d be ready for my CT scan, to which the response was a porter will be up shortly. This is from around 8am -2pm... I was approached by an assistant from the radiology department to inform me I had to make co-payment which was done immediately and the radiologists will be with me at 3pm. They gave me a fluid that I needed to consume over that hour before my CT scan. 3 o clock comes, I wait until around 3:45 pm to have my scans done. Thereafter I was told to return to my ward, feedback will be provided by my doctor shortly. In the interim of this, all 3 of my ward mates were discharged and another patient was admitted for a minor procedure, by 6 pm he too was released as within the 3 hour period from 3pm to 6pm, he had done his Proceedure and was good to go. Around 6:30 my doctor comes in for the first time to introduce himself and brief me on my current situation. No feedback from CT so I was admitted for yet another day. 04/06/2020, I recieved my CT scans around 7am and am issued with a discharge flyer but I’m instructed to wait for the doctor. It is now 14:33 and I am still waiting. I find this type of care for patients and effort by my doctor disgraceful and quite concerning as should it have been my appendix that burst, I could as well be dead by yesterday. I will never recommend my family to make use of this CarstenHof Hospital, honestly, the nurses are great and friendly but they too get strung by poor time management by the doctors. This needs to change. I have to date seen 4 people come in and leave before me for more serious procedures.
I really appreciate your response however to date, no one had attempted to contact me.
I am recovering very well thanks to Medi-across however I still have grave concern in how Dr Bope of Carstenhof manages his patients, and would still like to discuss this.
He didn’t even give me a doctors note for keeping me in ward 404 as he was not satisfied when I expressed my concern and requested in my state to discharge myself to seek better medical attention.
