Malpractice and incompetence nicu ward mount edgecombe

Highly disappointed with the care of my 2 month old baby boy. He was admitted into mount edgecombe hosp as a pre term baby I was told he was getting better one day only to hear the next his on antibiotics again continuously taking bloods from him daily as a small baby his in pain as a mother you trust the staff and nurses to do their job but they look in your face one way behind your back. They don't care about your child I went through the most stressful horrible days having my new born baby poked with meds injection marks all over his body .. and bruises left on his head as they used his tiny skull to put up a drib . Everyday I've been there I asked them if his fine he was finally picking up weight drinking from a bottle to of recent . Dr roshni govender his pediatrician informed me his heart stopped how does my child lose his life in a day with 24 hr around the clock nurses 4 drs treating this sudden loss in oxygen after surgery he suddenly needed was told he was fine morning saw him vitals was fine blood work fine and by afternoon my child's body is cold this is my first child spent days waiting for him to come home the treatment I got from this hospital regarding money and bills was ridiculous and utterly disgusting once my medical aid kicked in my child's life was no longer of use I'm currently getting into contact with a attorney as if you can handle a child with such malice incompetence please be aware the treatment in that nicu ward is pathetic hardly held my child was always put to sleep when I came to visit him was told only 1 hr to visit and now I'm sitting here planning his funeral I would never recommend this hospital to anyone you lose more then you gain ...
