MY WORST EXPERIENCE IN S.A
MY WORST EXPERIANCE IN S.A
On the 21 of May 2010 around 9am i called for an ambulance because my wife was in labour.after an hour i called again.To my surprise i was told that everyone who calls claims emergency.however i told my story as before.An hour passed again,still there was no ambulance.Pushed by her agony i ran for a meter taxi along Kenmer.Before i left with the taxi driver, an ambulance drove past into the Yeoville clinic.I asked for assistance but my plea was nipped in a bud.They told me to wait until they sent an ambulance specially for me.
I then took a taxi from the clinic to becker & fortesque where i stay.By the moment i got in the flat she was in the toilet in the process of delivering.I helped her through and the baby was born.Inspite that,we went to jhb hospital.All was well until i went to get a file for the baby.The man who helped me began to insult me.He accused foreigners of bearing street kids with local ladies.When i told him that i support my family thats when he calmed.Furthermore nurses were rough but doctors were very kind.I even shot photos of my wife being attended to by the doc.
Additionaly,two other patients were from the general hospital with complications due to nurses' negligence.The only way out is to learn their languages and threaten with legal action.This ain't new,PEP also has rough staff.People my advise is,go back home as soon as things settle and enjoy freedom.
Yeoville police are the best, keep it up

On the 21st of May 2010 around 9am I called for an ambulance because my wife was in labour.
After an hour I called again.To my surprise I was told that everyone who calls them, claims it is an emergency. I told them my story as I had an hour before. Another hour passed and still, there was no ambulance. Pushed by her agony I ran outside to look for a meter taxi along Kenmere. Just then, an ambulance drove past and into the Yeoville clinic. I asked for assistance but my plea was nipped in the bud.They told me to wait until that ambulance I had called arrived especially for me.
But the moment I got back into the flat, my wife, she was in the toilet and in the process of delivering. I helped her through and our baby was born .Inspite of that, we went on to to JHB hospital.All was well until I went to get a file for the baby.The man who helped me began to insult me.He accused foreigners of bearing street kids with local ladies. When I told him that I am a father and that I support my family, he calmed down. Furthermore nurses were rough with us as Zimbabweans, but the doctors were very kind. I even shot photos of my wife being attended to by the doc.
My advice to you all is go back home as soon as things settle and enjoy freedom.
