Exploiting Patients with Medical Aid

I was hospitalized on Monday for diabetes being uncontrolled. I waited 4 hrs before the dr. saw me and prescribed medication. Dr. Msibi prescribed medicine I did not need! I used my insulin as always, several sisters knew that yet on my file I only used 4 units. My sugar came down and Dr. said if it stays like this I could go home today. This morning she doubt that I was type 1 diabetic (I've been a diabetic for 15 years!) and wanted to observe me for 24 hrs to see what happens if I don't use insulin because according to my file I used only 4 units and when I told her that was not the case she wanted to observe me to see what happens if I use my insulin as I normally do. Isn't that just what I did? On Monday I got water and ice in a jug, that same water now warm was still on my night stand this morning! When I got coffee I received sugar and non diabetic rusk, only 2x I received sweetener and diabetic rusk! Nowhere on my bed was a note for the kitchen staff to see I am Diabetic. HBA1C Bloodtest got lost. After I left almost 3 hours later they still did not notice I left! I've phoned them (12:36), the unit manager said she will phone me back, I still have not heard from her..
