Ek het verlede week (9 Augustus) vir \u2019n bejaarde vrou wat ons ken, \u2019n afspraak by die Diabetes-kliniek gemaak, want ek het gedink sy is \u201cnaby aan doodgaan\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die praktyk bel toe so 13:00 om te s\u00ea dat die dokter daar s\u00ea sy moet so gou as moontlik na ongevalle gaan omdat sy \u2019n dreigende beroerte het. Haar suikervlak was 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ek het haar dogter gebel (nadat ek haar toe eers huis toe gevat het) en haar dogter het haar toe 14:00 Paarl-hospitaal toe geneem. Daar aangekom het hulle die dokters se brief aan die personeel oorhandig wat verduidelik hoe ernstig haar toestand is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Om 16:38 is hulle steeds nie gehelp nie. Intussen het iemand haar suiker gemeet en ges\u00ea dit is slegs 18, \u201cso sy is nie \u2019n noodgeval nie\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ek het 18:00 kos geneem en toe sit hulle steeds en wag. Ouma het toe al vir hulle ges\u00ea dat sy baie pyn het \u2013 waarna sy twee panado\u2019s gekry het. Om 18:30 het hulle begin skofte ruil en het ons aanvaar dat sy (wat in \u2019n rolstoel die naaste aan die \u201contvangs\u201d gesit het), eerste gehelp sal word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ek het intussen Mediclinic gebel, maar dit sal duisende rande kos, want hulle is nie lid van \u2019n siekefonds nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die volgende oggend hoor ek sy sit steeds waar sy gesit het en dat die nuwe skof nie weer pasi\u00ebnte geroep het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teen 11:01 was sy steeds op die drup waarop sy vroe\u00ebr gesit is en hulle het haar (oopgebarste) groottoonwond met \u2019n \u201cblade<\/span>\u201d skoongemaak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy is teen 13:00 ontslaan sonder enige pynmedikasie met die boodskap om gister (21 Augustus) en die res van die week, kliniek toe te gaan en ook terug na die dokter as dit nie beter word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
