Medical Incompetence & Ignorance

Medicross Randburg. For the 2nd time in 30 days, misdiagnosis Case 1. I saw Dr X, who diagnosed me with Pneumonia after taking XRay. I in fact had a Life threatening heart issue with a clear symptom being my swollen feet. Long story, over the next 2 weeks I was admitted to two private facilities where my condition got worse before finally being admitted to Jhb Gen Heart ward. Within 2 days I was on road to recovery. A week later discharged. Case 2. After my experience, I was reluctant to return to Medicross but it was afterhours and our staff member was anxious about the neck and headaches. This was especially an issue because of a traumatic even with one of our other staff. She was seen by Dr Y. Doctor told her what she did not have rather than what she did and prescribed Cataflam an anti-inflamatory. We did not think this would help and decided to see our trusted GP the next day. The GP confirmed that Cataflam would not help and identified two issues and prescribed medication for each. R590.00 The staff member confirmed that she was feeling better on same day. Next day she was back at work.
