A Medical Mistake Changed My Life | Unpacked with Relebogile Mabotja - Episode 49 | Season 3

[@natashamochitele7988]

I hope a beast of a lawyer sees this and takes up her case. Medical negligence is a huge thing in SA. I think she has a strong case!

[@Das644]

And they are very intentional in hiding the mistakes

[@zainabinti5170]

Suing the States can be a waste of time. U might win the case,and the States will tell u there is no money to pay u off.

[@zoemnguni9729]

This is called “medical negligence”, let this lady to please please find a medical lawyer and sue the state hospital for this before the 2years pass. Everything she went through from first to start. When these kind of mistakes happens, patient needs to be informed immediately. Sorry to hear what you went thru

[@LumkaJwara]

Never stop sharing these stories.. this platform is so important. I hope she does consult just to see whats wrong and before files disappear

[@learnwithme322]

True...if the files haven't disappeared already.

[@regaogetswechuene9591]

Can she please report this to the HPCSA? We honestly can NOT afford this treatment anymore. We can not afford to have more lives destroyed and/or lost. We have to hold these people ACCOUNTABLE. No woman, no one deserves to go through this. I am so sorry you had to go through this Pertunia.

[@Yassmiinn.]

Haven't watched yet but the title alone is a trigger. Almost lost my baby at a public hospital and the memories are so fresh and raw. It's been 15 months and I still can't think about that whole experience without feeling like crying. My baby's alive and well, by God's grace. But those nurses, I have no words for them.

[@gamerboy7015]

Love and light to you and your little one ❤️

[@keepitfrankwithfentse]

Sorry to hear that babe. Glad you and baby are doing ok

[@acceptinglife6491]

ladies I think we should start considering homebirth

[@nobuhlemasombuka3167]

I remember when the pandemic started and the then Gauteng MEC Dr. Bandile Masuku. At Mamelodi Hospital there was a crisis of pregnant women laying on the floor waiting to give birth. The videos and pictures were horrifying and he just dismissed it as fake. I’ll never forget that because that hospital brought a lot of premature grief to my family. Even now my biggest motivation for not falling pregnant is the fear of public health care. On the other hand I know young trainee doctors who are thrown into this unforgivable system and they are left suicidal. The lack of resources is leaving them hopeless, exhausted and helpless. We must suffer just because comrades must eat 💔

[@stephaneenos2997]

As a Dr myself I really appreciate your objective, honest comment. The system is failing us all.

[@mphomoatshe9300]

Hi Sister Please write a complaint to Department of Health of the particular region, don't wait.You are definitely going to get feedback and help,I once referred a matter there and despite the thought of poor public service crossed my mind but I did it anyway. People should be reminded what their job is even if they are fired and debared, it's the only language they understand. Relebogile you are moving mountains hunny, and we are here for it

[@truthchronicles8948]

My sister went through the same dire birth experience, they cut her bladder and 4 days after birth her belly got swollen. she went back to the hospital and it was discovered that the cause of her swollen belly was the urine leaking from her bladder to the stomach. she was in so much pain, and nearly died. She managed to file a law suit against the hospital and the case is still in court. And she's recovering pretty well by God's grace.

[@ericamantseki9690]

This is so sad 🥺🥺🥺 I hope everything goes well for her in court

[@sineziwemapukata9630]

But when you sign a consent it’s clearly stated that there is a risk of bladder and intestine injury it’s known to be a complication,surgery comes with complications it can happen at private and public hospital

[@presh804]

As a doctor in the public sector I initially felt defensive when this segment started. But as it went on, there were some undeniable issues: 1. Consent may have not been taken properly. Bladder injury is a common complication and as someone with a previous c-section (as with this lady), the risk is even higher. It should be clearly discussed because it’s something that unfortunately can happen. 2. When a known complication for a C-Section occurred, she was not properly counselled and informed. This can also add to distress, and it’s not fair for a patient. 3. She was treated very rudely and this made the experience worse. 4. She did not have a follow up appointment after having a Caesar as well as a complication. No opportunity to be reassured or explained to. The public sector is a hard place to work, especially obstetrics and gynaecology because it is SO busy and SO understaffed. But it doesn’t give us an excuse not to properly engage patients. I am sorry for your experience.

[@erenceletsufi1172]

Sounds dedicated to your work ...appreciate people like u ,who understand their job profile and valuing a life of patience. What cause negligence in public sectors plenty employees they dnt know their purpose to work at hospitals

[@Viceqt]

You would be surprised at how people twist their stories when they see an opportunity to sue. Until this goes to court, there’s def 2 sides to a story. See the obvious omission? She says the consent form was for “blood”. That’s a very small part of the consent form but she chose to neglect the rest of the consent process. Also, as a surgeon, I’ve seen/ heard enough not to believe all these stories.

[@lungelopilson6024]

I'm happy to here these type of stories because I'm passionate about obgyn and I am a doctor a public sector, I gave birth there, and I got maltreatment as well. So stories like these shows us our short comings. Askies sisi.

[@Theincredibleme-98]

I am still not 15 minutes in but, I was getting defensive..... I am a student doctor,thank you doctor....I was like but we need to interview stuffs from public hospitals one day,so they just explain a bit situations at public hospitals

[@nonkosi8021]

Just look at Shonisani Letholes case (who died at Tembisa Hospital) findings to see how cruel and negligent medical practitioners can be. There are so many cases like his. There are so many women who had hysterectomy performed unnecessary and without a patient's concern. There was a documentary done. I almost died due to OHSS and Pulmonary embolism cos the Dr didnt want to listen. We told the dr that my sis is allergic to penicillin, but the Dr administered it anyway. I demand that leaflet inside the medication, cos a Dr gave me meds with Codeine even when i told him its not good for me. I also gave him the reosons but some doctors dont listen. But when i was admitted at Steve Biko with high risk pregnancy to be honest i had the best care and support.

[@yolandamngqolo3201]

Hearing her story, makes it very scary to give birth at a public hospital😭I hope she will do a follow up on who were the people who did the epidural on her, were they qualified to do so... Basically a thorough investigation needs to conducted.

[@palesaneo3817]

Public hospitals have evil spirit I'm telling you. I gave birth there in july and I'm glad I'm done having kids. Home birth is the best option to be honest.:(

[@zoenjoko8988]

Public hospitals are the pits. I was in a horrific car accident which almost took my life . Due to the accident I had a scar across my chest caused by the seat belt. The paramedics came to the scene and rushed to me to a public hospital when I got there they kept on asking me where was the pain and I couldn’t respond. The only thing that they did is to give me a drip ! After I was fully conscious I asked the nurse if I could go home because nothing was done ! I was still in pain btw, no X-rays nothing ! ... they ignored me. Please note I was in the emergency room for more than 4hrs not being attended. I told my partner that I’m leaving now pain or no pain I took out my own drop 💔then they started shouting at me( nurses and the doctor) .. But I just had enough then I went home with my bleeding hand 😂from the drip. .. The next day I went to a GP who helped me.

[@thoesibanda7769]

In cases like this,you have to leave the hospital coz u ll be in danger

[@PSdaughter]

She should take this matter further. The doctor who did this should not feel like she dodged a bullet,she should suffer the repercussions of her actions

[@phumezagontshi3897]

I couldn't agree more. No empathy. 🥺

[@katlegongwatje5131]

As a medical doctor myself im really disappointed that such cases are still going on. Mistakes happen but when they do you take responsibility and explain to the patient wat went wrong. But also i think we are also overworked.. especially piblic hospitals in gauteng. Im sorry you went through that experience. It must have been hard

[@thoesibanda7769]

There must be a solution though

[@acceptinglife6491]

ya that doctor deserves for something to happen to her, whether its a fine or suspension

[@michellesadiki5387]

Hi Katlego, please advise on how I can get hold of u

[@blesssed-siyamahlangu9784]

My Gratitude's to Pertunia for sharing a heart flattening story. It would be of great interest to follow up because such stories demolishes us as young medical students because it drains the zeal and hunger. The essence of the Hippocratic oath is still valid and doctors should uphold their ethical standards. We have a generation of doctors upcoming they need a well nurtured system. Lets start fixing it now!!!

[@cmthoughts4803]

At least you survived my dad never made did due to negligence. I would go to hospital to bring him water and painkillers.😥

[@LufunoMuhali]

If its answers she needs the most i think its best to start the process as soon as possible while its still fresh in everyone's mind. This is so sad, my worst fear of going to hospitals. You go to solve one issue and come back with a different problem. I wish this lady healing, both physically and emotionally.

[@yolandagqoli8586]

This is a sad story to listen to because it should have been the best day of her life, please go see a doctor asap sisi just to be sure you good. I think you should sue the hospital for negligence not for revenge but so they can understand the importance of handling people's lives and well-being with care. Hope you recover well. You are such a strong 💪 woman big up's to you 💯

[@claudiamela4040]

A private hospital neglected me after a procedure in January and I ended up in ICU for days. The matron was from a public hospital and it was her first day, she refused to give me painkillers the whole night and I was an ICU case in the morning.

[@miraclemay24]

This interview is sooo true. I was also mistreated at a public hospital

[@thoesibanda7769]

Same here🥺

[@naledi2725]

I can relate

[@gugumanqele5738]

I know and understand the feeling. Also had c-section and from theatre i was injected with penicillin injection whilst wearing a handbelt indicating that I'm allergic to penicillin. So to cut a long story short, i reacted a few minutes after been injected. Was sweating, couldnt breath and i was injected with something else and after that was better after a few hours of hell. Then just a few hours after surviving that horror, the nurse comes back to inject me with another injection and i reacted again. I first started feeling hot, and my heart started beating extremely fast and i just collapsed. When i woke up, asked what injection is it that she gave me, she said its an antibiotic injection but with less penicilin. I was shocked. Imagine, still an injection with penicillin when i react to it.....so some cases are purely because of negligence. That's what happened in my case. And a lot happened, i can write a book. My experience at that public hospital was hell before theatre and after theatre. Some nurses are very kind and some are evil with no sense of pride in what they do, some will tell you it's exhaustion because they are short staff and over worked. So big up to all the professional staff who delivers with pride, have passion for what they do and treat patients with respect and dignity👍👏🙏

[@ShuvaiAprilzw]

Relebogile is a fantastic interviewer and I am intrigued that she is also an advocate.

[@ncisept5900]

Guys, you are allowed to ask questions.... It doesn't matter if we are talking amongst ourselves... ASK. It's sad that a common complication of a 2nd/more c-section turned out to cause so much pain...not just physically but the emotional pain. Just ask...the Dr. It's your health.

The horror stories I hear of government hospitals here in Zambia. I had to have my first son at UTH because he was born at 8months and I was terrified of what I was going to experience.I literary had to get my step dad to use his staff influence for me to get a decent service. Even with that my son ended up getting an infection and we had to stay an extra 3 days in block D. After I gave birth I bled a bit more than usual and the blood started clotting in my womb. The mid wife,bless her literary had to go in and remove the clots. The pain was worse than the labour pains. That experience made me not to go anywhere near a public hospital for my other 2.

I've had the best and worst experiences in one public hospital. Where I was 10 years old, I was in a car accident with my two cousins. Two of us were rushed to the hospital, when we got there, we were not attended to. The nurse asked what's wrong with us, we told her. She just said "oh ok", and just left us bleeding on the benches. Sat there till evening until I decided to just walk home. Worse experience. Such horrible officials give a bad name to all public hospitals, others are really trying their best to serve communities as they have a passion for helping people mara there just have to be more hyenas🙄

[@tshidimokone6595]

Feel sorry for the lady. At least she can hold some urine. There are people on permanent catheters because of this complication. It happens even in private hospitals but they don't conceal it. As for suing the department of health is another issue. They are bankrupt from the lawsuit s. It's going to take a long time to be attended to or get the real story. The student doctor had conscience because he was still new. I wonder what happened to him after telling you the truth. Let's pray that you heal. You need to see the urologist too.

It's not easy to be passionate about your job when you are overworked and underpaid and hospitals are understaffed and ill equipped. Medical professionals get mentally, physically emotionally burnt out and they are expected to just go on and keep serving. If anyone is to blame, it is the the policy makers who sit and create plans and make judgments from their cushy offices.

I part of me remains grateful that I miscarried at a public hospital instead of carrying my child to full term. The service I received from there is appalling. A nurse told me that I'm not the first person to miscarry and I must get moving. Upon arrival a nurse outright asked me "Why do you chose to miscarry at this hour" as if I planned it. Tried to report the issue but all three nurses were protected by their senior. The doctor did not even bother to clean me after my miscarriage, in fact they sent me home. Nobody said anything all that was said said was "You're good to go", the end. It's sad that this lady has to live with this caused by negligence. Honestly speaking the nurse involved should be paying this lady for the rest of her life. They should clean out her pensions.

[@marylufuno2789]

The biggest problem here is the secrecy.. They should've atleast explained to her that this is what happened to you and these are the complications you'll face. Not just let her go like that. It's inhumane

[@ncisept5900]

That's a common complication. We do tell patients when that happens.

[@lesegomonametsi8160]

Yes I also know it's a common complication because remember that baby in the uterus starts to grow Nd it presses down the bladder thts why it happens most the time. So I think she must just go to the hospital and ask for the Dr who operated her that day and ask questions,she will get some explanation.

I honestly empathize with the lady...but honestly during covid the holding during the epidural was not allowed I cudnt even have my husband in the theater at a private hospital I had to hold a pillow so tht I dnt move...a slight movement during that epidural can honestly cause complications hence the doctor was so frustrated she/he should have emphasized how important it is not to move...with movement the spinal can fail as she is explaining.. it failed...n hence she felt so much pain...but anyways such things need to be explained to the patient...

This isn't surprising, the public sector is very shoddy, where I was attending anc they had to draw my blood 3 times because they lost my results, they perform all kinds of tests on you and don't give you the results when you ask they dont tell you it's like you're inconveniencing them when you ask.. I was induced with cytotek with my second born and I only know this because I am an avid reader and I took control of wanting to be informed with what was happening. Thank God she's ok, it could have been much worse

[@mtnewt1]

She really should open a case as soon as possible because if any other issues develop as she goes it needs to be added to the case. It's terrible when ppl don't have an advocate when they can't advocate for themselves smh

[@matlhogonolotonimalomo9970]

this really touched me so bad...to start with epidural injection is painful af and then rolling over nkosi yame with a baby and numb legs, she was surely neglected, i underwent a similar procedure in a private hospital and bless those people cos they did all they could to help off the pain and vomiting's though it was touch but i appreciate how they tried hard to make me feel safe and in good hands. i feel so sorry for what she went through, it was so hard to take in plus have a baby to care for.

[@sizakelediya4080]

I really disappointing how Public Hospital treat people. People health are number one, government need get their priority straight. The health workers they have a very bad attitude, if I was her I would try to contact President or Minister then she will find out what happened to her plus she deserve to sue them so that she can use that money for private to sort out what went to her.

[@tebogomokobane8094]

The bigeest problem is that almost 90% like public hospitals and all government offices. They have made it a norm to give poor service nd are not willing to change

[@kopangletaoa7008]

This is triggering for me.I received the worse treatment ever when I gave birth.I’m a Sesotho speaking woman and I was in Durban.When it was time for me to push the nurse kept shouting’Khanula’ to which I told her in English I don’t know what it means.She said I’m acting so she looked at me n kept saying the word.At this point I knew she was giving me an instruction but I had never heard the word before.It was probably after two minutes that she told me to push.She was agitated at this point.I’m not gona say the things she did to me after. Mind you the hospital is Indian majority n according to the lady every Black person should speak Zulu.I’m still traumatized to this day and the stitching is botched

I believe that the doctor that operated on you didn't have a license to operate. My late mom was also operated on by an unqualified doctor. Sue the hospital!

[@errolnkuna8433]

it doesn't help case goes nowhere

[@nomsebenzi1]

The lady should not wait for long if she intends to sue the Dep of Health. She has three years from the date of the incident to institute legal action. Also she has a right to request to see her medical records so she should get that soon before they go missing. She should have had a follow up consultation and counseling. Mistakes happen, agreed but it's how the mistake is rectified and the professionalism of the medical stuff is appalling. Wishing her all the best.

[@NtombiGebuza-s4b]

I know this lady I use to work with her I relate so much in her story I also had a busted appendix and it was removed ever since then I HV these server pains and the treatment was so bad I remember when they stitched up my opp I could fell the niddle I told the Dr that I could feel everything his doing it was during covid I didn't hv a medical aid and the nurses where busy gossiping behind my back saying why is she here why didn't she go to a private hospital its sad hw you are treated in public hospital I feel that s why these a lot of people loosing their life whilst they were not suppose too

@@ScissorN wow 😮 just wow. You are a woman with the heart of a man an evil man for that matter. Foreigners work in our country and most of them pay taxes. They are entitled to free health care just like us, as long as they pay them taxes. The tax money is utilized to cover the free services that our government offers. Remember we were once foreigners during apartheid.

[@thatgirlwhitney8909]

Really sad story!!! This lady should go forward with this case. These public hospital employees have a habit of mistreating people. This is very serious. She could have lost her life!!!’ And being kept in hospital for so long after giving birth, clearly indicates there was something very wrong. She must go forward and open a case. Go to daily Sun daily and speak out. You will get the help you need, to get to the bottom of this story. Thank God you still here, to raise your kids.

[@melomurmursasmr7336]

this is horrifying!! I have never trusted medical establishments. health professionals are also so arrogant, I dnt know who told them they know so much that they shouldn't consider their patients. They don't value human life and health despite swearing to protect it! a rubbish bunch!! but what stood out for me was how supportive her husband was, kudos to him. kudos to her for being in love with a supportive and caring man, amanye amadoda engasile kanje, nxa! also honestly when you fall pregnant make sure you are with a man who loves you, his kid and will stick around. imagine if she was going through all this alone
