MALCOLM LYONS & BRIVIK INC DISAPPOINTMENT

Twice I approached MLB Inc Cape Town for assistance.

The first time for my employee exacerbating my PTSD, MDD and Agoraphobia, insisting that I be at the office when they were causing the mental breakdown. Mr Brivik declined to take the case although it was rock solid (as a labour relation specialist, I made sure of that before approaching MLB Inc) and eventually landed up negotiating my own settlement under NDA. One should ask yourself WHY an organisation would want to seal the details of the case under an NDA?

The 2nd time I approached MLB Inc was for being sent home by a private clinic that sent me home from ER after 2 hours, only to find out when I went to another sister-clinic, I had 3 or 4 fractured spinal discs. I have been bed-ridden for more than a month now. I could have landed up a quadra- or even a paraplegic due to their negligence.

I approached MLB Inc as they claim to be the best on their website. I completed their website form.

I received a call from the JHB offices on Thursday, 2nd May, at which time i had to give a brief overview of the case and was told that they would be sending my case to CT for further assistance.

I received a call on Monday, 6 May from their CT offices to schedule a Zoom meeting with Mr Brivik for 12:00, Tuesday, 7 May 2024 at 12:00. At this time they had no proper documentation or information as to the incident but not even half an hour later, I received a call from them to say that the Zoom meeting was cancelled and that Mr Brivik was in court, maybe Friday he would be available.

I found this very strange but sent them all the documents I had at hand that they requested via e-mail AFTER cancelling our Zoom meeting.

This morning I receive the following e-mail:

RE: YOUR ENQUIRY

Dear Ms Daniels

It appears as if to spot the fact that the cracked vertebrae were initially must there were subsequently picked up and surgery performed.

As a result, what could have been dire consequences were reverted. There does not appear to be any claim for damages associated with the misdiagnosis due to your prompt action and return to hospital. There are no additional medical or hospital expenses nor is there a loss of earning.

As such the negligence is what we refer to as negligence in the air and we are unable to assist you.

Tsvi Brivik"

Besides the fact that I have no idea what is written in the first paragraph, I find the rest of the content a "cop-out".

MLB Inc claims to work on a pro bono basis. So I have to pose the question whether my monthly income is not enough for a % payment to "fight" for, not to mention the pain and suffering and the loss of income until I am mobile again?

I wont be approaching MLB Inc after these two incidents as I am of the opinion that if you dont earn millions to make the % payment worth it, you will never get assistance from MLB Inc.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
