Two
patients
were
rushed
to
the
ER
after
an
accident
where
the
car
was
written
off.
They
discharged
one
at
23:30
in
the
evening
as
"nothing
is
wrong
with
you"
(he
had
no
where
to
go
as
his
car
was
written
off
and
there
was
no
family
members
nearby).
The
discharged
patient
(only
treated
in
the
ER,
thus
nothing
claimable
from
the
medical
aid
-
bill
of
R20
000)
and
the
other
patient
were
flown
back
to
Jhb
as
soon
as
flights
became
available
to
receive
adequate
care.
Upon
arrival
at
the
airport
the
patient
who
was
almost
immediately
discharged
could
barely
walk.
He
was
taken
to
another
hospital,
where
he
was
treated
for
a
broken
sternum
and
several
broken
ribs.
He
also
had
heart
attacks
in
the
past
and
the
accident
had
put
additional
strain
on
his
heart
and
the
doctors
at
the
Jhb
hospital
could
not
believe
that
the
doctors
at
St
Dominic's
"hospital"
discharged
him.
He
was
admitted
and
stayed
in
hospital
for
another
week
-
which
was
traumatising
for
him
at
first
as
he
was
utterly
afraid
of
hospitals
after
the
experience
he
had
at
St
Dominic's
"hospital",
which
included,
the
patients
both
not
being
able
to
walk,
told
to
urinate
in
a
bottle
(which
was
taken
from
the
trash
can
in
the
room)
and
cup
as
the
nurses
did
not
feel
like
assisting
them
to
the
bathroom.
The
patients,
both
elderly
and
just
surviving
a
horrific
car
accident,
were
not
handled
with
care
at
all,
not
being
told
what
tests
they
were
going
for
or
what
injuries
they
sustained.
The
"service"
and
"care"
that
St
Dominic's
"hospital"
provides
to
clients
(they
don't
have
patients,
but
rather
clients)
is
shocking
(the
above
is
merely
a
taste
of
the
experience).
It
is
shocking
that
this
is
the
state
of
a
private
hospital
nee,
any
hospital.
If
you
can,
do
not
go
to
this
"hospital",
rather
go
to
a
good
hospital.
