Life Hospital Fourways Emergency Unit

Fourways Life Hospital Emergency Unit Saturday, 15 October 2022. Just rushed an infant to your emergency unit. She had a convulsion due to fever and the heat. The doctor refused to treat the infant because the ambulance did not call it in, and he said that the infant looked fine. However, the sister helping him kept telling him that the fever of the infant was high. How can you show an infant away that just had a fit. She was clearly lethargic, white like snow and not looking well. Oh, another reason there's no bed available. According to my knowledge you stabilise a patient first before moving to another hospital.............I will send this to Hello Peter. Dear doctor, your duty is to save a life, not to argue with the paramedics about not calling in the incident!!!! Shout out to the Emerg - Med paramedic lady who stood her ground in a calm manner speaking to the doctor.
