Patients deserve care, not threats.

To Netcare Management,

I am extremely disappointed and angry at the way patients are treated at your facilities. It is appalling that your doctors no longer rely on their medical training and basic clinical assessments, but instead depend entirely on machines—particularly X-rays—for every single case, even something as simple as the flu.

Patients are being forced to undergo unnecessary imaging, and worse, they are not being informed about the potential risks or disadvantages of repeated exposure to such procedures. It's as if your priority is not the health and well-being of patients, but how much money you can make off of them.

Why study for an MBChB degree if you're not going to apply the foundational knowledge you learned? What happened to physical examinations, listening to patients, and using professional judgment? Instead, patients are bul****—yes, bul****—into "going under the microwave," and if they decline, they're told they won't receive help. That is *********, unacceptable, and downright dangerous.

This kind of medical practice is disgraceful. It raises serious questions about your values and ethics. Patients deserve care, not threats. They deserve informed consent, not coercion. If this is what Netcare stands for, then you have completely lost the meaning of healthcare.

Enough is enough. Patients are not machines. We deserve better.
