Disgusted

I completely withdraw my previous compliment and review of the nursing staff at Umhlanga Netcare hospital. It was discovered that my mom was discharged with a pressure wound on her left heel which has worsened to the extent that the physiothe****** is concerned it will go septic, and she is DIABETIC. Called the hospital and got the run around. What an absolute lack of care on the part of the nursing staff to a) not even notice it and b) not be bothered to treat it. Now I am haggling and fighting with medical aid to try and get wound care for her at home, which is not happening despite applications sent in over a week ago. As far as I'm concerned, Umhlanga Netcare should be sending out a nurse to us at home to resolve this as it is their failure and lack of care for my mom for not seeing and treating the pressure wound. Again, she is diabetic so this is a very serious issue that needs immediate medical attention!
