I just want to complain about the poor service I recently received at the clinic at Helen Joseph.
I was in a lot of pain and they made me wait hours to see a nurse.
Later they started shouting at me and later chased me away because I don’t have a referral letter from a clinic.
I went to get one and went back, having chest pains and feeling sick.
After five hours, the doctor sent me away.
She treated me so badly. Shouted at me and gave me a letter to go to another clinic.
When I arrived at Chris Hani, nurses laughed and shouted at me, saying I should come on a Wednesday and not any other day.
The moral of my story is that I feel that nurses feel they are superior to us.
They are there only for the money and not to help people.
I would rather die at home than go to our government hospitals.
