What a horrific experience I re-had at dudoc hospital as a patient who was there for an elective procedure. Let me first re visit the very first one which I let it slide without thinking this might come and bite me again .. I was there due severe abdominal pain little had I known that I had a ruptured ovarian cyst which to me was horrific pains the nursing staff in maternity treated me with kindness upon admission but all that changed as I kept on requesting for pain medication due to the ineffectiveness of the type of medication they were giving I complained not even one nurse took upon her self to escalate the issue and call the doctor to mention that this patient is still in excruciating discomfort pain yet we have given this and that. I was devastated and even in tears at some point due to that type of pains I was having and what hurt the most was the fact that I was hospitalised and mind you in a private hospital.

Second incident, the same issue worsened to a point where the doctor advised that I need to be admitted for elective procedure pertaining the same issue . The treatment post operation was really back to be precise in pain management. I was then taken a back given the same attitude when I requested for pain medicine to a point where by a particular nurse had to sort of disciple me for actually verbalising that I had pains . I’m so disappointed and fed up with Durdoc I won’t ever in my life regard it a safe place for me and other patients I feel sad for the patients who had undergone big procedures and who requires pain medication frequently and who get scolded by doing that by nurses . Such a bad culture for nurse and they’re definitely endangering our lives which then opposes with nurses acts and regulations. The staff having to gang up on me and question me about my complaints was still inappropriate and very unprofessional especially for the team leader.

I’m beyond disappointed and heartbroken
