As if this is an isolated case pfff
Was the poor Granny not accompanied by a relative when she was taken to hospital.? Did people just stood by and watch how the Lady was tied up to the chair. Everybody who witnessed this are guilty😡
Mamelodi hospital has a reputation vele
Someone is basically asking to be fired. I feel no sorry to whatever happens to the culprit
Mxm people have been lodging complaints against Dagga... this hospital needs new management
Too many of these autrosities happening with very little consequences to the quilty.
People don't respect their jobs and the services at public departments are very poor, I am not surprised to see this. Someone must get fired
This hopsital should have been investigated years ago. This is not new.
This needs very serious and urgent attention. a day is more than enough! it’s a matter of getting all info from all sides, step 1 is to suspend whoever was involved in her cuffing to the benches.... this is taboo🤞🏽
