The Limpopo health department will pay a woman millions after she was misdiagnosed with cancer in 2005, causing her to unnecessarily undergo a double mastectomy and chemotherapy.

When will we start holding the responsible id!ots accountable? They just don't care, because it's taxpayers money paying for the claims.

i dont believe that you think that these doctors are from University of Limpopo or Venda, you are a disgrace to this country.
Most doctors today are not in this proffession because of passion but because of money and that puts our lives at risk.

I agree with antie. Those ultimately responsible are those doctors. They should also foot the bill. This will teach them to be more careful and to be respectful to their patients.
