Union hospital
<p>My father was taken to the union hospital on the 23rd of December 2016.with kidney failure and dementia. When he was taken from their home he had no bruises. the first time I saw him he looked terrible . His wrists were bruised, and he had bruises all over his body. I visited daily and he looked worse everytime .When asked , the personnel said he was eating and drinking properly.One of the doctors looking after him did not even know some of the medication he was taking. I know my father is elderly (82) and we all thought it was normal to deteriorate so quickly. When I visited him on 31 December he had a bleeding mouth and congealed blood almost filled his mouth. I asked to speak to his doctor and was surprised to find a different one. He told me there was nothing more they can do and that we should accept it.I asked him to discharge my father immediately and he gave me a form (refusing to be treated ) to sign which I did. He said it was for medico legal reasons.We took him home so that he can spend his last days between family. During the night he actually started to open his eyes and recognised us. That did not happen in the hospital . We suspect that they kept him under heavy sedation.</p> <p>They tied his arms to the bed and I am quite sure that he did not have anything to eat for several days. After a terrible old years eve we decided to take him to a frailcare centre on the 1st January. A catheter was put in by fantasic empathetic personnel. The sister in charge phoned us early on the 2nd and said my dad has pulled the catheter out and we should go there immediately.</p> <p>We arrived there and decided with the sisters agreement that we should get him to a hospital, as he was actively bleedin and a frailcare is not equipped to handle it</p> <p>Again an ambulance was ordered and we took him to Flora Clinic. where he still is.</p> <p>What is actually very disturbing is what an ambulance paramedic told me. Apparently elderly white Afrikaans speakin patients are being abused by union hospital staff.I want to get behind this accusation. If this is racist behavior that has happened in the past as well drastic measures will have to be taken.</p>
