The woman\u2019s identity is being withheld for humane reasons.<\/p>\n
She underwent a hysterectomy in July this year but soon realised that all was not well. Her stomach swelled to such an extent that it looked like she was pregnant. The scar where the operation was performed turned red and bloody under the skin.<\/p>\n
When she went to look for help she was shown away from the Witbank Hospital<\/a> with the excuse that \u201ctheir machines were not working\u201d. Middelburg Hospital<\/a> told her to come back in January 2019. Her loved ones fear that in her current state, she will not live that long.<\/p>\n Also read: Woman fears for domestic worker’s life after botched hysterectomy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n After reporting about her plight, a well-doer contacted\u00a0www.mobserver.co.za<\/b><\/a>\u00a0and undertook to try and help her.<\/p>\n She got an appointment to see a doctor at the Middelburg Hospital<\/a>. Her former employer told\u00a0www.mobserver.co.za<\/b><\/a>\u00a0that hospital staff had tears in their eyes when they saw the state she was in.<\/p>\n She has now been instructed to come back in three weeks while the hospital tries to trace the doctor who performed the original operation.<\/p>\n “The problem is that she lives with her family in Nebo at the moment and she has to travel very far to get to hospital and back. Because she is not working, she does not have any money and transport is expensive. She is also in a lot of pain, especially if she has to sit for long periods,” the woman’s former employer said, who has been supporting her financially.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n R10 000 reward for information<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018We should kill him\u2019 \u2013 Truck driver hears how hijackers argue about his fate<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n #TrafficUpdate: Avoid N4 near Machadodorp<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n VIDEO: Machadodorp two granted bail<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2022 Save our standby number (072 248 3855) and send us a WhatsApp message with the words \u201cAdd me\u201d to be added to our broadcast list.<\/p>\n \u2022 Like us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, follow us on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Subscribe to our\u00a0YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\nOther News:<\/h3>\n
