Life Brenthurst is the WORST HOSPITAL EVER

I went to casualty at 10 am on Wednesday as I had miscarriage symptoms. I got there The receptionists were very friendly and accommodating and was attended to by 3 nurses as they were taking my details and BP and what symptoms I was having. No scan was done to check on my baby or an assessment done..from then was only moved to a ward only at 14:37 since 10 am in casualty, only to be sent to a surgical ward and was given pain medication and IV drip, the gynea only came to see me only Thursday morning and did a scan and was told my baby is doing fine and that I have a high risk pregnancy....was returned yet again to the surgical ward as I assumed I was supposed to be in maternity. Friday morning I experienced contractions and they said they would give me pain meds and I wanted a gynea as I did not want to lose my baby.....they (nurses) were inconsistent with giving me my prescribed meds, turns out the was a pill that was supposed to be inserted via the fenny but i was given orally...they injected me with something and my arm has been numb since Friday. Where the drip was inserted the vein is hard as a rock and I had discharged myself on Saturday after I saw the gynea again and was told that the was no baby only membranes, was not cleaned, only give antibiotics and a a probiotic and the other 2 meds was told to get them from a pharmacy.

I had a horrible experience with the hospital and in the room since I'm expecting it to be a private facility the was 6 of us in the same room as I had given birth at Parklane and the service and treatment was impeccable and only shared a room with 1 other lady.

Please advise in how to go about this as I feel my baby could have been saved.
