Tsaagane's daughter Mosidi Makau said:"I was shocked to get a phone call from nurses saying that my mother would be transferred to Leratong Hospital.Mosidi said upon arrival at Leratong, her mother was classified as unknown patient because she was taken there without her medical records.
"Sadly mama did not make it," Mosidi said. Mogapi's daughter Patricia Maimane approached lawyers after her mother died under similar circumstances in January last year at the same facility. Sowetan has seen e-mails that show Maimane lodged a formal complaint with the hospital about two weeks after her mother died."But when she got to the hospital, she already saw a dead person who nurses were trying to save knowing very well she was no longer alive," Maimane said."We are traumatised by the scene we saw as her children. We just want closure and want to know the way forward.
She said the family decided to take the matter further with the provincial department through their lawyers after a redress meeting with hospital management."On February 11 around 23h30 while busy with nursing duties, nurses were alerted by the screams of patients in the ward.She said the hospital did its best to care for patients and had not received similar complaints.
Litigation. Taxpayer to foot the bill!
What a BS story.
