Netcare Pine Haven death hospital
I was admitted to PineHaven hospital ICU in the morning with broken ribs, the ER doctor referred me to DR Zigiriades only to be seen by him the next afternoon at around 3PM. I complained about the stomach pain but nothing was done, I stayed in the ICU for 6 days then for 2 days but the stomach pain couldn’t go away. I then went back to the ER and told the doctor I suspected I had internal bleeding she told me it wasn’t but a nerve that was broken and prescribed tablets for that. I went home but the next evenning I nearly died due to internal bleeding what saved my life is changing the hospital had I gone back there I’m sure I would have died. The hospital is very clever the doctors are independent contractors as result you can not sue them, this was a really bad experience and couldn’t advise anyone them 1. It was the first time I go to a private hospital and been seen by the doctor 30hours later
2. The doctor presantated a ********** claim of seeing me the first day and after hours consultation when they was nothing like that. I only saw the doctor twice during my stay there even though I was in ICUfor 5 days, but the ctor claimed 5days
3. One of the complication of a rib fracture is internal bleeding and I don’t think much was done to ensure I wasn’t
4. After staying for so long in hospital it is hard to believe that they was no follow up appointment arranged for me
5. They are not many doctors in based at the hospital as most of them are based somewhere so there only come once in blue moon
6. No one seems to know who admitted my discharge medication my medication says DR Zigiriades but he says it wasn’t him
7. The hospital does not employ any doctor why will someone go to such
8. Th hospital didn’t have a clear idea on when a patient is to be seen by doctor
In closing this hospital is very bad and nearly cost me my life, anyone staying in the west should try and avoid it, rather to use others
