On Monday my aunt offered me some maize meal, which I used on Tuesday and Wednesday because I had no food. Later on Wednesday I discovered that the same maize was poisoned and it felt like ****roache poison in there. I was not able to **** at all and my stomach was painful. On Thursday around 11 am I decided to go to the clinic for assistance. When I got there I was assisted but Suprising nurses were constantly saying I have depression instead od constipation : pause remember the issues was about food poisoning and now where does depression comes in. It was becoming clear that these nurses are up to no good. OK I was assisted and finally given a medicine to help me with my blocked stomach. When I was done, there came nurse Mathebula who ask me to come see her in her room which I did. And she started explaining herself that's she will like to assist me with a 1 on 1 talk regarding my situation and the session started just after my HIV test and another test. She than asked if it's ok to call me the following week one she has booked me for canceling with a psychologist. The following day she called me to come for a session, when I got there she told me she had already booked me for canceling and arranged transport for me with saps. She started writing on a certain form which I asked to read but I was never given access to it. That sounded like wow but I still felt that I am being played here, I guess I was never wrong. The police came and said we can now go, when we got to a van I wanted to have a from sit but he denied me that access and said no you must go to the back of the van. Well me at the back of the van drove to hospital, when we got there I was amazed by the way the policeman was ordering me to do things, like you sit here don't move. He started talking to security guards telling g them to guard me I am a problem, Hao things have changed. I got to the first person who helped me which is where I explained myself properly and the fact that I don't understand what is happening and why really I was there. He understood but did his part and referred me to the next phase..... Where I also explained my self but the woman advised that she can only take my blood samples to check what is happening g with it. This happened withought my concern and proper preparation. When done there's a certain dose that was put on my drip that got me drawsy, they helped me to a bed where I rested i than had no power. 30 munites later I was moved using a wheelchair to a ward I am currently in, mentally ill peoples ward. I am hurt by the system and being treated as if I am mentally ill.

Lack of Medical Care during lockdown
My son has bladder stones. He was diagnosed in January at Estcourt Hospital, where there is no urology department. He had to wait two months to get an appointment with a urologist at Ladysmith Hospital because they said "it wasn't an emergency." This took us into lockdown. I got permits to go to Ladysmith Hospital. My son was told he needed an operation, but couldn't have one straight away because of Covid 19 and "it wasn't an emergency." Four months later he is still waiting to be called for his operation, which will take about half an hour and requires no overnight stay in the hospital. He is in almost constant agony and is peeing clots of blood. He is going to end up with permanent problems because "it is not an emergency." Unlike kidney stones, these cannot be dissolved. He cannot work because of the pain and I am a pensioner so we cannot afford private medical care. What are the people at the hospitals doing. Urology has nothing to do with Covid 19 so are the urologists just doing nothing. This is unacceptable. When will it become an emergency?
