Doctors managed to save her life, but the surgical swab, about the size of a hand towel, used to soak up her blood remained inside her.

Incompetenc/negligence is an understatement. How can you not see that????????? Its either the surgeon and the team are blind or they were doing a "hands on training/practicals"
I wish in negligent/malpractice cases Drs can be sued in their personal capacity........... maybe all this gross conduct will stop. Report Abuse

@ Silolo, it has less to do with corruption and more to do with complete incompetence. I cry for my beloved Eastern Cape, health has deteriorated, home affairs is in a mess, education has deteriorated. If only people were chosen for their competence instead of cadre deployment, we would be in a much better position. Report Abuse
