Melomed - *******os !!

So guys... Trying to find my way by suing these guys for the poor treatment and bills thereof after having a fractured knee. I have been treated like **** from the start. I unknowingly, literally fractured/broke my knee on 25 JuLY 2022. First of all...Paramedics did not even use a stretcher, instead, they asked both my husband and my daughter to carry me out, which was probably a three-meter distance. I was shocked and disgusted in pain, at the same time. I was admitted to Melomed ER where I was aided by Dr. Langa, who only sent me for X-rays and measured my temperature. Left the hospital with crutches and without a cast - weather conditions were so bad it was raining and roads were slippary imagine what further injuries I was exposed to. was discharged a couple of minutes later to only discover six weeks thereafter that my knee was in fact broken after visiting my GP. ( He requested my X-Ray results - DR. Bassier @ Airport Mall)

After seeking further medical attention for the pain and suffering - I went to another GP who eventually told me to consult with a physician and continue further physical therapy and treatment, I went back to Melomed Hospital in Bellville.

I informed the nurse who assisted, me of my poor treatment. I mentioned that the Doctor who "assisted me" was Doctor Langa. I am a professional myself and I work extremely hard for my bread and butter. I do not wish to do her any harm but am shocked by the way she shunned me in her examination room, instead the nurse present, Madeline or Marlene - treated me well. I was discharged within an hour of my injury without any proper examination or even a cast. I MEAN DR. LANGA!! TILL THIS DAY I SUFFER AFTER EFFECTS MY KNEE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONFIDENTLY TEACH THE WAY I USED TO - I AM FURIOUS WITH THE BILLS I WAS LEFT WITH AND THE DAYS I LOST JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR NEGLIGENCE!

In fact - I will take this matter further with my attorneys! I am in disbelief that some doctors have no passion whereas I would entrust my life in their hands - I am a victim of this Doctor's negligent and careless practice
