Linkwood Maternity Hospital Traumatic Experience

Health & Medicine

ON THE 4/11/2013 MY DAUGHTER GAVE BIRTH VIA CESAREAN SECTION AT THE LINKWOOD MATERNITY HOSPITAL . ALL WAS FINE UNTIL THE LAST DAY WHEN SHE WAS LEAVING AND FROM THE MOMENT THEY WHERE INFORMED SHE WILL NOT BE BREASTFEEDING BUT BOTTLE-FEEDING THE WHOLE ATTITUDE CHANGED.
HER BABY WAS DUE TO FEED AT 1.PM AS SHE WAS BEING Discharged AT 2.PM WHEN ASKING FOR A BOTTLE TO FEED THE BABY SHE WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO FORMULA ND MUST GO TO WOOLWORTH'S OR PICK N PAY TO BUY SOME.
THE PHARMACY AT THE HOSPITAL HAD NO STOCK AND THEN SENT 1 TIN THAT HAD EXPIRED . ON LEAVING SHE HANDED IN HER FORMS TO REGISTER THE BABY AS NO NONE HAD BEEN AROUND TO EXPLAIN ANY OF THE PROCEDURES TO HER IN THE WHOLE TIME SHE WAS THERE SHE WAS THEN TOLD SHE CAN NOT REGISTER THE BABY WITHOUT A MATERNITY CERTIFICATE WITH A SCREAMING STARVING BABY IN HER HANDS THEY THEN PROCEEDED TO FILL OUT THE FORM WHILE SHE WAS BEING DISCHARGED WITH A SCREAMING STARVING BABY ON CHECKING THE FORM WHEN AT HOME THE FORM WAS FILLED OUT IN CORRECTLY AS WELL!!!
THEIR WAS ALSO NO ADVISE ON WHERE TO GO FOR CLINIC VISITS ETC.
THE STAFF ALSO HAD A VERY BAD DISINTERESTED ATTITUDE!!!
