Mediclinic Kloof ER misdiagnosed me and cost me unnecessary medical bills
I visited Kloof Mediclinic's ER yesterday in the hopes of having a holistic check up as most Dr's rooms have limited facilities in respect of pathology and radiology tests. The reason for my visit was an extremely sore throat and ears which had deteriorated just over a week. I was assisted by a young female Dr who diagnosed me with oesophagal reflux disease. She said the sore throat was a result of the acid pushing up into my throat. She gave me a script for some acid tablets, a throat spray and panado. This morning I called the ER and requested the receptionist to ask the Dr to refer me to an ENT specialist as my throat had gotten worse and the pain more severe. PShe responded with an attitude that I needed to come back and confirmed that I would be billed again when I reiterated the latter. I then decided to consult with my gp who prescribed some antibiotics, anti-inflammatory pain killers and probiotics. It's been 3 hours after I've taken the medication and I feel much better already. I just thought I'd share that atrocious experience I had with Mediclinic..... won't be going back there if my life depended on it 🤧
