Netcare
Incompetent Nursing Staff at NETCARE HOSPITALS

2 different patients, 2 different hospital, but the commonality is Netcare and Incompetent nursing staff with lack of compassion.

Nurses passed off a fractured shoulder saying its just a bruise, leaving patient in agony without and pain killers
When they eventually took him to casualty, he was left freezing cold, in just a hospital gown.
Nurses lifting him up using his fractured shoulder, instead of a draw sheet as its more convenient for them.
Couldn't provide urine bottle, despite knowing patient has kidney problems and could barely move with the pain he was in.

Hospital running out of blankets, pillows.
Hospital not having 20ml syringe to flush feeding pipe - nursing staff not knowledgeable on feeding pipes
no communication with family, despite patient not being able to communicate to doctors or nurses.
Countless bedsores as a result of hospital stays.
Wanting to discharge patient to get his of their hands
having to wait hours for a doctor to sign a death certificate

this list could go on and on, but how many more patients will have to suffer or die in a Netcare Hosital before something is done.
