Video clips reveal shocking treatment of elderly hospital patient

Images and video clips of the elderly woman lying on the floor went viral on social media after a furious relative, who identified her as Martha Marais, shared them on social media.

“This is my mother, man. This is not a dog. Is it right for me to come and find my mother like this? Is this right? She is 76 years old and this is what you are doing to her,” the woman shouts. “Nursing staff at the Mamelodi Hospital tied her hands behind her back and to these chairs, forcing her to to lay on the cold floor since Tuesday night. Nursing staff ignored her, yet the staff at Eersterust clinic referred her because she needs urgent medical attention. Not even hardened murderers, rapists are treated like this,” Keppler wrote.“This is disgraceful and then they wonder why we do not want to go to this 'killer' hospital. This must end right here. Disgraceful,” she said.

“I have sent this to professor Mac Lukhele, head of the Gauteng health department, for his immediate attention. Mamelodi Hospital is notorious for poor treatment of patients. I hope that the new health MEC, Bandile Masuku intervenes urgently to fix the deep-seated problems at this hospital,” Bloom said.
