Only about the money

<p>On 26 December I cut my hand badly. Ii went to Netcare Universitas Private Hospital (preferred supplier of my medical aid). Because they could not verify my medical aid I had to pay cash. No problem, as I knew I had funds and will claim it back myself. I paid R200 at admissions. Then the instruction is that I can ONLY pay cash at casualties. R600. No problem, but I only had R500 cash on me. Went to draw money, ATM does not work. Admissions said they will talk to casualties to see what we can do, as I was bleeding and was not in the mood to drive to an ATM and draw cash because a big hospital can't keep up with technology. Here comes the problem, as the nurse called me, she sat me down like a child, told me I have a problem and what am I going to do about paying the bill. I took my file, tore it up and went to Medi Clinic where I got service immediately, no questions asked and the medical aid has paid the bill already. Netcare, get with technology and try thinking of your patients first before you worry about a bill.</p>
