A sick person needs a doctor

WITH reference to Joseph Veto's experience, "Hospital nightmare" (June 26), how can Sizwe Kupelo advise patients to seek help at the Motherwell Clinic? How can he make a stupid comment to the media?

Was he present in the case of this patient? Did he see the state of this patient?

Let me teach you something: if someone gets sick, the first thing is to get a doctor and be examined. Why is Kupelo trying to educate people about a medical facility and not attending to a complaint?

A government hospital must help any patient. You, as a Health Department spokesman, encourage patients to be turned away, by the way you put your statement.

Please stop making stupid comments. There is no improvement as your Health Department keeps making the same mistake again and again.
