There are good Doctors our there but Today Dr was something Else
I was referred by my Dr to hospital. I went straight to casualty where I was assisted by a friendly nurse and later send to the consulting rooms where I was supposed to be seen by a Dr. I waited for almost 30 min.The front desk clerk pass a remark about a sensitive issue Corona ... I was wearing a mask due to my bad cough I started to feel uncomfortable. My visit to the hospital was for chronic sinusitis, short of breath , chest pains tonsils and bad flu. The clerk eventually come to my room where he said I owe a outstanding of R951.59 as a shortfall that my medical aid did not pay , I was not even aware I asked if I is possible for them to take out of my savings , he said no it not to be paid in full today as the Dr say he cannot consult me. I told him I do not have that amount on me can I pay it when I get paid. By than I can feel my chest is closing up again . I ask him to call the Dr he come back and say the Dr said my Vidal signs is ok I have to go to a Dr without even consultating me. I took the Dr details while putting it in my bag ask myself this question for a Dr to turn a patient away like that , did he not make a oath when he got his PHD degree as a Dr to saves lives not turn a sick patient away in such a cruel manner. What if I got this Corona virus and infecting my family and innocent people out there , do our country need an ambassador like this Dr to serve our Country whole heartily for saving lives or just have a title as a Dr. When I walked out I was crying all the way home even the nurse ran after me and ask why am I leaving without seeing the Dr.
