GREED

I recently had an operation at St Augustine’s Hospital in Durban and the anaesthetist was a partner with Drs Edington & Partners. I was in the theatre for less than an hour and, whilst I have no problems with the anaesthetist, I was shocked to find that Drs Edington & Partners charged four time medical aid rates. I do not have gap cover and was lucky to be charged only double medical aid rates.

To me this practice is sheer greed.
