Good day, As I am writing this review my eyes are filled with tears. I was scared to go public but the service I received from the Goodwood clinic from my first month up to 32 weeks until I go to the elsies river clinic at 36 weeks was just perfect.
I would like to acknowledge the good service the security offered. I had no problems with nurses or anyone.
Yesterday the 31st of march 2021, I had severe stomach pain so I decided to go to elsiesriver MOU. Arrived at the hospital the nurse helped me get at the MOU ward unfortunately it was the wrong entrance. When I arrived there the sister or nurse in charge told me rudely what are you doing here , this entrance is not for you only for stuff. I explained myself and said sorry I was directed here hence I came here, sorry. She told me to go out and around until I see the security and the security will help. They good security helped me.
Once in the ward the same nurse ( short, fat, very loud, Muslim, no manners , shouts at everyone, coloured and knows no meaning of privacy ) was shouting at the patient who was there before me. Anyway that's not my problem.
When it's my turn , I am in the room.The lady touched my stomach and I moved just a little bit as it was a bit painful and that's where all started.
She asked me to dress up, pack my stuff and go home or she will send me to kaarl bramer. I was scared I thought something was wrong with me or the baby and when I moved a bit my hands just touched her a bit. She shouted at me why did you touch my hands( I don't know if I look crazy or brutal to maybe think I would hit her )
I said mum, I am sorry just that that place is very painful I can barely sit or eat because of the pain. Yes but God somewhere else. I was like ha Okey then I stood up then she said sleep I want to check if your baby's heart is beating....after thinking I was like , I have a medical aid , I have a family why should I suffer here while I can go to a better hospital ? Hence I told her no thank you mum don't worry I will go somewhere else.
That's just increased the fire. She started to say that I said she was rude, I have never used that word and told me to explain to the other sister why I touched her hands. I just broke in years litteraly broke in years I was amazed by how a midwife could be sooooo wicked.
Thanks God another one came and gave me the best services.assured me that all was well with me and with the baby( meanwhile the other one was still shouting and telling me story to everyone for at least 25 minutes)
You know, I hope this will be read.You cannot be a nurse and be so heartless, this are the kind of women who can kill. Kill a newborn or the mother. I am traumatized since yesterday, I have not stopped thinking out the innocent people or the less privileged who cannot afford going elsewhere than elsiesriver. Once I give birth I will make sure I assist at least one woman per month with the little I can just not to live with such trauma.
My case was soooo little what about those who arrive there and cannot do anything or are bleeding and then have that midwife.
It's very unfortunate and I pray that when I give birth that trauma will go by God's might grace I will go private.
I wish all the best to that midwife and may God just renumerate her as she deserves
