Breaking local news in Ballito Dolphin Coast
KwaDukuza's regional hospital has been accused of negligence following the death of 65-year-old Gert Pieterse , a resident of Good Luck Farms in Tinley Manor, who died in the hospital on August 27.
Gert, a double amputee who was suffering from arterial insufficiency, was admitted to the hospital shortly after 8am on the morning of August 27 after experiencing severe lower abdominal pain and losing bladder and bowel control. Recognising the signs of a medical emergency, Isabel, who is a trained nurse, immediately raised the alarm with the four nurses on duty in the ward.
She was told by the nurses that at night doctors were only called in an emergency, and that her husband did not qualify. This eventually resulted in two leg amputations - one at Albert Luthuli Hospital in February last year, and another at GJGM in September of the same year.
