A mother visiting her newborn at Steve Biko Academic Hospital found him covered in feces and was told to clean him herself.
A mother's worst nightmare became a reality at Steve Biko Academic Hospital when she found her two-week-old baby covered in feces, only to be told by a nurse, 'You can clean it yourself.'
'After I arrived at the hospital, I explained to the nurses our unique situation and that my son had gastroschisis. They started to prep me for a c-section with drips and a catheter.' 'I told the doctor that the other doctor denied the c-section, and immediately after that, they started prepping me again for a c-section. They had to redo the drips and caterer.' 'At one stage, they instructed me to get out of bed; I was in active labour, and they told me to sit in a chair so that someone else could have my bed. Only after I threatened to report them to the medical board did they give me another bed.
An emotional Mans said she was treated with no dignity and the birthing was so traumatizing that she now needs to see a private specialist to repair the damage caused by the birthing.Nicole had to give birth naturally and was allegedly told by a doctor after the birth that she was a negligent mother because she couldn't keep her baby in until the c-section was done as normal birth is perilous for a baby with this condition.
The same nurse also allegedly refused to replace the baby's oxygen tube, even though doctors had noted low oxygen levels.
