WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Recently, one of our foreign contributors, Peter the News Guy from The Right Perspective raised the important issue of white patients being maltreated by black staff. You can read about it here: South African Hospital Abuses White Patients
Several years ago TV programs exposed the maltreatment of old white people in old age homes by black staff who were filmed abusing the whites.
This morning an old lady was walking her dog past my house as I was returning from a quick trip to the hardware store. She struck up a conversation about the unseasonally cold, wet weather. One thing led to another and she was telling me how she had lived in this suburb since 1961 – that is since before I was born. The suburb I live in, is one where you can walk down the street and meet lots of white people who moved into these 3-bedroom houses in the 1960’s and never left the area! They came here, put down their roots and just stayed… until they died! She was telling me how many of those generation of people were dying from old age. Since I have lived here for 16 years I already know quite a lot who died. I don’t know of many suburbs where people just moved in and stayed as long as they did as this suburb. If you want to buy a house you have to wait for someone to die – literally. To me it is a sign of a good neighbourhood. All these old people can tell you stories of what this suburb looked like in the 1960s… when John F. Kennedy was still alive!!
And many of these old people are still alive and walking around and are very active, but their numbers are are dwindling fast. Sadly, I think my neighbourhood is going to end up going downhill.
This old lady was telling me how an old white man who had lived down the street had died recently after a undergoing an operation at Flora Clinic nearby. She was telling me how this 83 year old had gone to hospital and they had removed half his colon. He was in intensive care for 7 days. Then, he was put in a normal ward for less than 24 hours and sent back to the old age home where he died a few days later. She was there when he died and clearly it had upset her a lot as she described to me in detail the last hour of his life. He had been sent back and could not even breathe properly, nor was he given proper instructions. She thinks he died from a heart attack and that it was related to him struggling to breathe. The only people she had praise for were the paramedics who were there within 10 minutes and who struggled to save his life for an hour.
She was so outraged that her friend of 30 years had been thrown out of hospital so quickly. Prior to his operation he was very active and was playing bowls 5 days a week. She just could not stop talking she was so upset.
I then told her that I had a similar experience at Milpark Hospital which is widely acclaimed as the flagship hospital of the Netcare group and which is supposed to be the best hospital in Johannesburg. I told her that my mother was released from hospital when she was completely unable to walk. I was astounded at the condition an old person could be in and they would be told to leave hospital.
This old lady told me of someone else down the road whose father-in-law had died after hospital treatment and care which cost R500,000 ($75,000) that she believed had occurred in a similar vein.
She claimed that the problem is that the hospitals are over-full and they need to get the people out because they can’t cope with the volumes. Given the experiences with my mother at Milpark, I think she may be on to something.
Keep in mind that the ANC Govt has totally destroyed the Govt hospital system through 17 years of mismanagement. The private hospitals have to take up all sorts of a load which puts them in a tough situation. Let us not even go into the effects of the labour laws on the quality of the staff they have to hire.
I think there may be something to the “overload” theory. I think our medical system is under strain and I am quite convinced that the Govt has created this situation through its laws. The end result is that people die needlessly who might have lived.
