Life Eugene Marais Hospital
Good day. To whom this may concern. On Tuesday 29 June 2021 @ 19h53 I took my son 4 month old(Q.Lingua) to Eugene marais trauma unit for severe vomiting as well as milk comining out of his nose while Vomiting. At 20h27 they took my childs stats and his pulse by then was 85bpm which acording to me is a low pulse for a baby. I then was placed in a room with a COVID+ mother even after the mother told the Nurses as well as the Docter they didn't bother even about me and my baby being in the same room as a Covid patient. At 21h40 the Dr. Came to see me about 1min into the session he then had to rush out for an emergancy by this time my baby already vomited 5 times while being in the emergancy unit and he also refused to drink. At 21h43 a nurse came to me with some Zofran 4mg tablets that i had to give half a tablet to my baby. This helped to stop the severe vomiting but still no Dr has seen my baby yet and No diagnoses was made yet. At 23h14 after I told the nurse i cannot sit here and wait anymore I am leaving and going to another hospitali the shift leader came in to see me I told her that I am upset with the treatment we got at the hospital and the fact that we were put in danger with a COVID + person being in the same room as me and my baby according to her she didnt know this person was COVID+ but I heard myself how the mother was telling all the staff that she and almost her whole family are COVID+.. she said the Dr will see me now. Only @ 23h23 a Dr came to see me at 23h37 we were done and send home with still NO diagnosis. I feel my baby and my life was put in danger by the staff. I have to pay a huge amount for doctors that did not even did a full examination on my baby or gave me explanation for my babies vomiting. I feel eugene marais emergency and trauma unit is NOT putting our best interests at heart! And I am disgusted by the treatment my baby received from them!
