Medical doctors are covering for one another which makes the proof of negligence extremely difficult and hence the doctors and hospitals is getting away with it for years. Panorama hospital in Cape Town is a breathing space for bacteria with all the old carpets they have, yet they are draining the patients financially with infections treatments received in the hospital. The place is not steryl and I personally got 2 infections there as a result of doctors and physio therapist negligence. Yet they cover up for one another. Even the hospital manager doesn't take responsibility when patients gets infected with a bacteria that could have been avoided if the place was steral. Someone needs to investigate it.
