Is Midstream a Private Hospital

on 4 August 2025 I was scheduled for Surgery at Midstream Mediclinic Hospital. I filled in a comprehensive and very accurate on-line admission at home prior t6o going to Hospital but still had to wait for over an hour in the freezing cold wind at Reception to sign some documents, which probably could have been given to me in the Ward or signed electronically at Home...On arrival at the Surgical ward I found that my valuables Locker was broken and notwithstanding my request for repairs, it was not attended to before I was taken to Theatre. Outside Theatre someone discovered that I had not had the required Blood Tests done and had to be tested quickly prior to having surgery. On waking up post Surgery, I was informed that although I was to recover in ICU, said ICU was full and I was left in a passage somewhere for nearly 2 hours. At this stage I had been without drinking water for more than 18 hours and had my Wife bring me a bottle of water to drink. Other nearby Patients were also requesting Family members to bring Food and Water. Later in the ICU at Dinner time I was given Pasta to eat even though I made this known to Kitchen, Ward and Admissions. Throughout the Night the ICU was very noisy mostly due to Hospital staff. Positives: The Surgical Team is World Class. The Food other than being inappropriate was tasty and well prepared.
