As haar kleinseun vroe\u00ebr die korrekte mediese behandeling gekry het, sou dinge nie ge\u00ebindig het soos dit het nie, vertel Bettie van der Merwe Bonnet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 inwoner van Velddrif s\u00ea wat haar betref, kon die nalatigheid van die Vredenburg Provinsiale-hospitaal die dood van haar vyfjarige kleinseun veroorsaak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bettie het aan Weslander<\/em> vertel haar kleinseun het vroeg in Oktober gekla oor maagpyn en sy het hom dadelik Vredenburg-hospitaal toe geneem. Met haar aankoms by die hospitaal en met haar kleinseun wat skree van die pyn, het geen mediese personeel hulle egter te hulp gesnel nie. \u201cDit het ure geneem voordat iemand aandag gegee het aan hom en die gedrag van die personeel was onprofessioneel,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wat vir Bettie verstommend was, is dat die dokter wat hom uiteindelik gesien het, glad nie haar kleinseun deeglik ondersoek het nie. \u201cHy het bloot elektroliete-water gegee en ges\u00ea as hy niks opbring daarna nie, kan ek hom huis toe neem.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bettie glo egter meer moes gedoen word en kla niemand het enigsins fisiek aan hom geraak om vas te stel wat die moontlike probleem kan wees nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy is huis toe met die kind, waar hy die dag daarna steeds in pyn was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns is weer hospitaal toe, en hy het skreeuend van die pyn in die wagkamer gel\u00ea sonder aandag.\u201d Uit desperaatheid het Bettie haar raadslid gekontak, wat op sy beurt met die hospitaal in verbinding getree het, waarna \u2019n dokter die seun uiteindelik ondersoek het en vasgestel het sy blindederm het gebars. Hy is daarna na die Rooikruis-kinderhospitaal geneem vir \u2019n operasie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roche Laws, \u2019n woordvoerder van die departement van gesondheid in die Weskus, s\u00ea hulle is hartseer om te verneem van die negatiewe ervaring wat Bettie en haar kleinseun by Vredenburg- provinsiale hospitaal ervaar het. Laws s\u00ea die hospitaal streef daarna om die beste moontlike mediese dienste te lewer en waardeer hierdie geleentheid om na te dink en te verbeter soos nodig. \u201cOns kan bevestig dat die pasi\u00ebnt volgens sy diagnose behandel is en n\u00e1 verdere assessering ontslaan is om tuis te herstel. Toe hy weer na die hospitaal teruggekeer het, het hy tekens van akute, ingewikkelde blindedermontsteking ontwikkel en is hy daarom na die Rooikruis-kinderhospitaal verwys vir gespesialiseerde sorg,\u201d s\u00ea Laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy voeg by dit kan moeilik wees om blindedermontsteking in die vroe\u00eb stadium te diagnoseer \u2013 \u201cselfs vir \u2019n ervare dokter\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVolgens protokol moet alle kinders wat by Vredenburg-hospitaal gesien word en tekens van moontlike blindedermontsteking toon, na die Rooikruis verwys word vir \u2019n ho\u00ebr vlak van sorg. Ons wens die seun alle sterkte toe en \u2019n spoedige herstel.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bettie s\u00ea haar kleinseun het egter probleme opgetel n\u00e1 die operasie, maar voeg by dit gaan nou beter met hom en hy sterk tans aan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy hou egter vol daar is nie dadelik na haar kleinseun omgesien nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy vrees vir die welstand van ander pasi\u00ebnte en glo personeel moet te alle tye professioneel optree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAlles kon vermy gewees het sou hy in die eerste plek die regte behandeling gekry het.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As
