I just googled the guy and there's an order granted by the Arizona Medical Board dated 3rd March 2017 where he surrendered his license to practice allopathic medicine. So if it took me all of 1 minute to Google that and read it, so what is the HPCSA doing? Surely they should have checked that he was sued for malpractice and settled the matter but his conduct was unprofessional and had his license revoked. It's not just him that needs to be held accountable. It's the hospital who hired him, the HPCSA... Maybe even the Minister of Health.

[@KingBhele]

Human beings need a source of income. Also they would like not to be murdered. And there is no guarantee that speaking up would have any impact at all. That is why there are regulatory bodies. Health workers should be able to anonymously report malpractice. The regulatory body should investigate and revoke his licence to practice

We put our lives in their hands, trusting them, trusting that they are qualified and were hired because of their qualifications. If my family had not intervened, I would be dead.

Its sad that SA allows things like this to happen!

[@beewest5704]

This happens to alot of ppl where they are left hungry for days or even a week waiting for a operation. When ppl get bumped down the theater list because of emergencies this is what happens. That is why nurses are supposed to be advocates for their patient & remind the doctor that they are making the patient suffer needlessly. Drs being overburdened also lead to these problems.

[@susanwilliams7814]

Dear Carte Blanche. I urgently need assistance with an unresolved case with the HPCSA involving a specialist physician also a foreign Dr licensed to practice here in South Africa. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. A rare genetic disorder. This Specialist physician practices at Sandton Mediclinic. I feel exactly the same as these patients. Dr's bury their mistakes. There was a hearing with the HPCSA via teams. How this Dr says that he is not obligated to fill out any forms for anybody. Yet he treated my daughter for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome at Sandton Mediclinic. I am a civil servant , govt school teacher who is trying to retire medically on the grounds of ill health. If forms are not completed and sick notes not supplied by the physician my pension will be severely impacted. Blessings and thanks Miss S Williams

Keep pursuing. Very worried about how thwse Drs are getting through the system.

[@beewest5704]

Unfortunately many specialists do not want to fill in forms mostly cause they do not have time. All you have to do is go to your GP & let him request all his notes, tests etc than you GP can do it & refer to the specialists notes. You GP can also help you to call the specialist & ask him to give you a appointment to fill in the forms. You will need to pay for a consultation. If the department or insurance wants a specialist to complete the forms you can find another specialist ( even if it's not one familiar with your disorder) to do it after you have all your file notes. If this is not viable you need to go make a affidavit with a Commissioner of oats stating that you tried getting the specialist to fill out the forms & he is unable or unwilling. Also write to the management of the hospital where he works. Mediclinic has patient liason officers that have to make sure their patients are happy. Put a complaint. Email them. You are not the only person having this same issue. Making a case with the HPCSA will not help you in your case. Edit: I manage a heakthcare centre & deal with oatients like you everyday. It can be sorted even without his help.

It msut be hard to eventually find out that you are not fit for the job, after you have trained for years to become a neurosurgeon! Yet, you simply cannot endanger patients, just because you don't want to admit your inaptitude to yourself.
