Netcare review: Doctor Service at Pinehaven hospital

We were in casualty for about 19 hours before being admitted due to the unsuccessful nature of finding a PICU bed for my 13mont old son who coughed blood. After about 14hours of being there they found a bed in Alberton and started with the transport arrangements. This all happened before the pediatrician decided to come and pay a visit and actually look at my son. She then came and assessed my son and decided he does not need an ICU.

She then failed to make notes and inform the pediatric ward that he should be nebulized, and I mentioned to her that my son was not nebulized since the Friday morning that was on Sunday. She noticed that she failed to write it in the script.

On Tuesday she wanted a cardiologist to see my son and wanted a CT scan which both my husband and I refused. She went over our heads I kept cool as I know she bullied my husband into saying yes.

The last straw was on Wednesday when I asked for a Refusal of treatment form and clearly told the Doctor I will take my child for a second opinion, and she first said she will get the form, when I walked out of the room to sign the paper she said to me in front of two nurses that she phoned Child protective services and I will not get a form. I was upset and said to her that I she can't do that as I have an appointment at another doctor. She said my child can't leave.

After a whole thing when we got the hospital management involved and asked them, they said she did not phone them, but they will transfer my son on their cost to Krugersdorp private hospital.

No one can give me answers as to why I was threatened by this doctor.

No one can explain why she gave us 4 different diagnoses.
