I was not happy with the way I was treated at St Georges hospital on date 24 August afternoon.After being admitted at st Georges hospital on the 21st of August I received a bed at a ward,I was later on (24th August) moved to the Medical ward in the morning around 8:00 am and being moved with my bed I was told to leave all my belongings and that they would be packed and follow me to the ward.After my things had followed I realised my belongings in the bag were wet,I realised a bottle of juice had been placed in my bag,unclosed,wetting my charger,documents everything in the bag being soaking wet.I then rang the assistance bell on my bedside for a nurse and Sister Sinazo Sani approached.I explained to her that my bag had been wet,and I need to charge my phone.She went to fetch an adapter for my charger and a wet cloth,returned and upon arriving she took out my charger and a few things and asked who wet your bag,I then rep**** I am not sure because I had left the bag to follow me.She then threw the cloth she went to fetch on me and said She will not be helping me,She left everything she had took out of my bag right on the bed next to me and left,without charging my phone after I had asked her to.A few minutes later I see her a few beds away from me in the same ward discussing with a fellow nurse and after hearing her saying a few things rudely I heard her saying in Isixhosa:”ucimba ndiyintanga yakhe lo,inoba ubona lomzimba umncinci”,which simply translates to “ Maybe She thinks Im her age mate,because of my tiny physique”.I felt disturbed,why would she throw a cloth at me,throw a tantrum then go throw an attitude tantrum within the same room as me so I could hear what she had to say about me.This had left me restless and upon venting to the other patients I found myself crying,I am deeply disturbed and bothered by this,I was clearly not the only one that was unhappy as other patience started commenting about being unhappy and the nurses having an attitude.
