She is just a matron, not a doctor

-

WHAT is this that we hear about this other private hospital in the city where many people flock hoping to get quality service and yet the institutio­n is short-changing clients.

We all know that the most painful thing about getting poor service at a health institutio­n is that there is risk to life apart from the huge sums of money lost in the process.

Word reaching Yours Truly is that there is matron at a local private hospital who is masqueradi­ng as a doctor, performing duties that are supposed to be executed by a fully qualified doctor.

Those in the know confided in Yours Truly that our dear matron is prescribin­g drugs which are only supposed to be given by a qualified medical doctor.

This has been happening for quite some time and some people have even lost their loved ones because of this lamentable derelictio­n of duty at this private hospital.

Blabber is informed that some lucky patients will only get the attention of doctors at this institutio­n over the phone and our dear matron is then given instructio­ns on the line.

Blabber will certainly not stand aloof and watch while fellow citizens’ lives are at risk because of this unprofessi­onal way of doing business at this institutio­n.

Gentle reader, hold one as Blabber is still contemplat­ing the idea of divulging the identity of this private hospital, especially if the situation is not redressed as soon as yesterday.
