It still hurts to this day when I think about it even though it happened a few years back. We had an emergency so we ended up at Matatiele private hospital with my special needs son. We waited a few hours for Resqmed ambulance services from Kokstad. Couldn't understand why when there are private ambulance services in Matatiele. A group of young guys came and rushed my son off to Durban City Hospital we followed with our own vehicle. The guys stopped in Kokstad for sometime to get a oxygen bottle. Halfway through the guys changed drivers. We than arrived in Durban the ambulance driver took a wrong turn down the taxi alley, stopped and reversed straight into our vehicle. I tried by all means to warn him but it was too late. My son's hand was injured in the process he still bears the scare from the drip niddle that tore his hand open. The ambulance driver called it in told me he will pay for damages. The day after I called the ambulance services owner John to explain the situation. John turned out to be one step ahead of me by letting me run after him for months. I let it go but learnt a valuable lesson, got myself the law on call with FNB for future incidents like these.
