\u2019n Vrou van Postmasburg wat sedert 2019 wag om \u2019n operasie te ondergaan, is Donderdag (20\/04) n\u00e1 \u2019n lang wag by die Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe-hospitaal in Kimberley huis toe gestuur sonder dat die prosedure uitgevoer is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petro Louw, wat al sedert 2019 vir \u2019n bilaterale mastektomie wag weens \u2019n toestand bekend as gigantomastia, het van skok inmekaargesak toe sy hoor die prosedure gaan nie meer uitgevoer word nie. Die prosedure sou Woensdag uitgevoer word, maar sy is Donderdag huis toe gestuur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toe sy tot nommer 11 op die waglys gevorder het, was sy hoopvol dat haar lyding iets van die verlede sou wees. Haar toestand maak haar kwesbaar vir infeksies. Die mastektomie is die voorloper vir nog \u2019n operasie wat sy moet ondergaan wat verband hou met rug- en nekprobleme wat saam met die gigantomastia gediagnoseer is. Sy is nommer 300 op die waglys vir neurochirurgie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Louw moes op 14 April by die hospitaal aanmeld vir opname en voor-operatiewe bloedtoetse. Daar was geen bed vir haar beskikbaar nie en sy moes op \u2019n stoel in die gange van die chirurgiese waarnemings\u00adeenheid slaap. Sy het van die Vrydagaand tot Maandagmiddag \u201cin die gang gewoon\u201d totdat \u2019n bed uiteindelik aan haar toegeken is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie badkamergeriewe was verskriklik vuil en daar was reuse-kokkerotte.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy is ook van amper al haar besittings besteel terwyl sy geslaap het. Van die kos wat vir haar geneem is, is ook gesteel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy man het van Postmasburg gekom sodat hy my besittings in die motor kon toesluit. Hy het in die kar geslaap.\u201d Sy s\u00ea sy was die heeltyd oor hom bekommerd.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nadat sy vanaf Dinsdag om 22:00 ter voorbereiding vir die operasie niks ge\u00ebet of gedrink het nie, was sy sonder kos en vloeistof totdat sy Donderdagoggend meegedeel is dat die operasie herskeduleer word weens te min teaterpersoneel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Louw s\u00ea sy is verpletter. Sy kan nie meer die daaglikse pyn, gejeuk en ongemak verduur nie. Sy kan nie bekostig om self vir die prosedure van honderdduisende rand te betaal nie. Sy het vandeesweek \u2019n brief ontvang dat die hospitaal haar nou na die Universitas-hospitaal in Bloemfontein wil stuur om die operasie te ondergaan, maar \u2019n datum is nog nie gegee nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die gesin sal ook weer verdere finansi\u00eble koste moet aangaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Delmaine Christians, DA-lid van die Nasionale Raad van Provinsies, s\u00ea dit is nie \u2019n ge\u00efsoleerde geval nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie groeiende chirurgie-agterstand by die hospitaal het \u2019n verwoestende impak op die pasi\u00ebnte en hul gesinne.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy s\u00ea die kollig is op die swak pasi\u00ebntbestuur en onveilige toestande in die Noord-Kaap se enigste tersi\u00eare hospitaal. Christians het \u2019n formele klagte by Maruping Lekwene, LUR vir gesondheid, ingedien en vrae aan die minister van gesondheid gestuur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk wil weet hoekom, ondanks die enorme chirurgie-agterstand in die provinsie, meer teaterpersoneel steeds nie aangestel is nie en slegs vier van die nege teaters by die hospitaal gebruik word.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy wil ook weet hoekom, ongeag daarvan dat die departement \u2019n private agentskap betaal het om die chirurgie-agterstande aan te pak, die teikens nie bereik is nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns moet verstaan hoekom pasi\u00ebnte geskeduleer word wanneer beddens nie beskikbaar is nie, hoekom daar swak sekuriteit in en om die hospitaal is en hoekom die hospitaal vuil en vol kokkerotte is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die Noord-Kaapse departement van gesondheid het teen die koerant se druktyd nog nie op navrae gereageer nie. \u2013 Anena Burger<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2019n Vrou van
