Walvis Bay State Hospital stays in hot water After the Walvis Bay State Hospital has already been in hot water for allegedly delivering poor service to patients, another incident occurred recently and almost cost a local resident his life, after a motorcycle accident. Mariette Brand Ek dink persoonlik maak maar die hospitaal toe, of verkoop maar alles en gee/verkoop vir mense wat wel belang stelling het aan/in siek mense en om gee...en nie net opstaan in die oggend om tegaan sit en nie worry nie en tee drink en eet en geld verdien vir niks doen nie! this is NOT the first complain at this hospital!! sick man sick! wonder of hulle ooit almal gerigistreed is vir nursing en verpleeg! bad veryyyy bad! hoop daar word iets gedoen aan die saak.... want soos ek gesè het..this is NOT the firs complain regarding this hospital! hoe sè hulle.jy gaan in half siek en kom uit in ‘n swart sak! Doctora Fannie Namtex What were nurses supposed to do to a patient with skull fractures? They told the patient to wait for the doctor who doesn’t stay in casualty 24/7. People acquaint urselves with more knowledges about nursing scope of practice and for that of the doctors and stop blaming nurses all the times. They can’t even send the patient to an X ray unfortunately to determine the severity of an injury and I’m sure they wud be uncertain to treat bleeding from ears and stuff cos they wud ave ended up jeopardising patient wellbeing. This is intercranial bleeding u ppl are talking about and I’m sure it wasn’t profuse. now tell me why do these nurses are getting all the swearing words on earth? Yet u indicated clearly that the patient was rushed to a private hospital and attended to by the DOCTOR? may u please indicate as well what private nursing practitioners did to save the referred patient? How many people were on private casualty queue and how long did the doctor took to arrive? Yes most of our public/ state hospitals are at their lowest peak of services but let’s know who to blame and when! Vevangaije Jatamunua What the heal is wrong with those nurses at walvis bay hapo if they dont want to work they must go there are people out there who are hungry and want to work go man.
Ester Harmse Shocking, where are the days when nursing was a calling and not just a way to make money? Cindy Williamson My parents live there and have an extra hospital plan. 12 years ago my mum went to that hospital with sugar at 22....more than enough to send you into a coma....the hospital didn’t even have insulin. My dad had to go to the pharmacy to get. Weyers Lorraine The nurses are too fat and old they can’t even walk proper to perform and what do they care they get a salary at the end of month. Shambekelah Tetanga I am appealing to the ministry of health to print and distribute (media included) the scope of practice/ job description for nurses, Doctors and pharmacists coz sometimes we blame people wrongly! Shapu H Nangolo I m sick en tired of some nerses at walvis bay state. There is also one dr who beahave hell to patient she did not even give time to a patient to talk to her. soon she will chase u out. Emile Eckhardt Réshaadt Fire everyone they treat people like ............ the place is falling apart just look at the entrance of the hospital alone if you wanna die young go there u planning ur death in a cheaper way the place stinks but there is cleaners? There is huge holes in the ceiling and everything is unorganised i think they should put white people in charge of the hospital like in the past they took beter care of everyone no racial discrimination just saying but stil fire everyone even the doctors from Cuba they are extremely rude. Martin Mateus M’forzy Shame on the nurses. Atleritha Kandara The top management should be disciplined or fired, period. Dear Marieka are u living in Namibia? Richard Kamwi is no longer the health minister. Christeen Mar-hio They use to say police officers are rude but to b honest nurses are th most rude ppl! im
Leer my om u wil te doen, want U is my God! Laat u goeie Gees my op 'n gelyk pad lei. Psalm 143:10
Its ‘raining’ fish at Langstrand A reader sent in this video of undersized Kabeljou fish stranded along Langstrand. The namib times called the Fisheries Inspectorate Office, Swakopmund, to enquire about this phenomena, and was told that their offices are indeed investigating the matter and that the public should be cautious and not touch these fish. Beau Beaulah If you understand what figure of speech means than you might understand, how in the world would fish rain? Eish Namibians, too quick to talk cr#p! It obviously means Alot of fish have bein washed out, this happened a few years ago with crayfish. Paurl Kavelah The heading is misleading, the author misinformed me as a reader” that will lead to confusions by thinking those fish hav had fallen from the sky. Lee Babyson I hope no one will try to eat this fish. Maximiliaan Mcnab Someone is polluting our oceans, thus the fish is lying along the coast. The relevant people should investigate this. Dawn Els Prolly a freak wave that washed them to the shallows and drained back too fast for the fish to follow... there’s been quite a few unusual surges of sea water along some coast lines, could be a result from recent earthquakes... by the looks in the background, the recent tide moved quite fast since it is still damp fairly wide around and one won’t know how the sandbanks below have been affected.. so
this unfortunate school of fish were just caught at the wrong place at a wrong time.. at least the birds are having a feast. Paulus Mwanyekele I remember this happened in 2010/2011 in Walvis Bay also. Becky Kamba Raining fish lol. Y didn’t they rain in the desert to rain out off the sea etse. This is like manna let’s go grab same fish tog. Petro Blommie Van Schalkwyk Surely it did not ‘rain’ fish. The fish probably just washed out due to something in the water. Like really?! Dino Petersen This is End Times Signs. Jesus is coming soon. Are you ready? Harold Mrmagic Davids There’s a rupture in the water that caused it. Becky Kamba Am going for the naw. I need a hike guy’s. Leonard Leo Kandjiriomuini Early Christmas guys lets go Doublee Elago Weather changes. Paulus Mwanyekele Am I right Sharon Burger? Not really sure about the exact year but it did happen.
saying out of experienc! Hamutenya Katanga Kalula Its not the first time especial two old ladies those two they are hell to patient. Jo-Ann Katamila Ja ekt ook baia bad memories van daai hospitaal en sy traakmy-nie agtige houding. Hoop di nuwe minister kan n verandering maak. Ursula Thomas Ai sal daar dan ooit n vrandering kom. Daar is n paar verpleegsters wat hul werk ernstig opvat. Maar die res. Nee dankie. Moenie die dokters vrgeet nie. Raak jou nie eens aan nie. Maar dan gee hulle al n diagnose. Ver van dit af wat jy makeer. Maar ja. Viva mr. President we count on you to make a change. Sterkte aan bogenoemde pasient met jou genesing. Marieka de Beer En ons minister of health? Richard Kamwi??? Dit is mos nie hoe dit moet werk nie? Daardie mense word betaal om hulle werk te doen, dan gaan dit so? Ons tax geld word net weg gegee dan? Dareenjie Mwiza Bwezila That problem is nt jst in walvis bay also in keetmanshoop maybe they think those hospitals are their houses and trying to tell people nonsense before helping them Esther Ndeuja It’s a habit,those people you are calling nurse they don’t now what’s being a nurse. Anatjie Botha Hulle moet daai oorsee se dr weg stuur ek het iemand daar besoek en wie ondersoek die mense die suster
wat weet sy ek was geskok en moeinie van die itensifief praat nie n klomp kinders terwyl daar iemand wat le en baie siek is en vuil veral om die hospitaal en fange onsmoet saam staan en probeer reg stel Allan Roodt So in ander woorde jy moet hulle ....... LEK om n vinger op te lug en iets daaromtrend doen. Martina Du Toit This is so so sad.do we take our pledge we made to be in this profession and not to abandon our patient seriously? It’s a shame Michelle Fourie Wat sě ons President? Janine Andrews Why first complain before something is done? How long does investigations take? somebody must first die although many did already! Vakola Sakaria Al am sayng is if u dn wna go bck hme en go rest dn waste patients tym mxm Obert Lifasi Nurses or nursing homes yooo Coletta Cloete Meintjies Ja so ken ek staats hospitale verpleegster ruk jule reg en begin kry skaam elke week is dt net jule ek dabk die vader ek ht n medies pyk dienste en vriendlike ontvangs Esmarie Swiegers Sadly nurses and EMS personnel get paid peanuts. They studied for a calling, but anyone that works 12+ shifts deserves a decent salary. Helna Open Ur Eyes I hope mr minister will do something.
