I hope they fire the nurse and security guards as well incompetent useless beings someone failed to do their job properly firstly what does a nurse on duty do with a personal phone she clearly wont be giving anyone attention and secondly this stupid security mense they dont do their job arent they supposed to search everyone going in and leaving the hospital? So now they think they can beat up a mentally unstable person? Shame!!!

Highly impossible to search all. Nurses should have lockers go keep their personal properties safe during work. Security officers are used and are scared. To them a nurse keep mohlomphegi. They bow.

Put yourself in the nurses place - you are trying to help someone and they turn around and steal from you - you will lose your temper too. The patient was schizophrenic and an addict. He should have been taken to a mental hospital in the first place.

Why is this woman being allowed to deal with mentally disturbed people? If she doesn't have the patience to deal with them then she shouldn't be working there. They can be very trying but it isn't their fault and beating them up is just cruel. It is like hitting someone for getting injured

this are kind of those nurses who went to the fly by night colleges, she is not well trained, the department must review her qualifications, and see if she is really a qualified nurse.

Some people are simply angry and bitter. This nurse needs mental check up and a dismissal letter.

I do not trust ... how do I get to Weskoppies? Again. One in 5 people in the world are mentally challenged. There are 10 of us here and I am not the one, then it must be your brother. One in 10 people in the world are mentally challenged and there are more than 207 presidents and prime ministers. JG Zuma is one of them. Now we know who to believe in the whole story. "Said a witness: "While they were waiting for the police, the nurse started hitting the patient in the face with a diary. "He got upset and spat in her face. Ja, nee.

Most nurses have temper. I don't know if it is because they are earning peanuts or what

Dam Him he's schizophrenic and a glue addict, how come some one in his condition think of stealing if he isn't a thief already? he 's supposed to have stood there and laugh all by himself and not thinking of hurting anyone, he was a spoiled brat, spoiled by his mother who stood up for him in every wrong he does, His last move would be on his own mother and she will then see what kind of a monster she brought up.
