Life or Death A Critical Question in any hospital

🚨 Unprofessional and potentially life-threatening care at Abaqulusi Private Hospital! (Part 1 of 2)

I was treated at this hospital from Feb 10th to Feb 15th, and my experience with Sister Khumalo was traumatic. When I struggled to breathe on Feb 12th and asked for help, she dismissed me, saying she's "too busy" - TWICE. Worse, she chose to attend to a bell that could've been assigned to someone else, prioritizing it over my critical need. Her colleagues apologized, but she remained unapologetic.

## A blatant disregard for human life Sister Khumalo's actions showed a shocking lack of compassion and professionalism. As a nurse, she's bound by the Nursing Act, 2005, and SANC's Code of Ethics to prioritize patient care and safety. Her behavior breached these fundamental principles, putting my life at risk.

Her negligence could've led to: - Respiratory failure - Cardiac arrest - Death

## Compromising the profession Sister Khumalo's actions undermine the trust and integrity of the nursing profession. Her behavior is a stark contrast to the oath of "do no harm" and the values of compassion, empathy, and care that nursing embodies.

## A toxic presence Her attitude made me fear for my safety, even from poisoning. I avoided interactions, going to reception to drink water. This isn't what patients expect from healthcare professionals.

## Accountability is key Sister Khumalo's fitness to practice is questionable. I urge SANC to review her registration and Abaqulusi Private Hospital to hold her accountable.

## Exceptional care amidst darkness Nurses like Nurse Maphanga and Sis Xoli showed exceptional care, providing emotional support and responding promptly.

Abaqulusi Private Hospital, prioritize patient care and hold Sister Khumalo accountable. Recognize nurses like Nurse Maphanga.

Sister Khumalo, your behavior is unacceptable - patients deserve better. I'm seeking legal counsel.
