  Please report any college that will tell you that they run Baa cause that will be a scam they robbing you of your money. Report them to hpcsa where all medics register their qualification when done from college or varsity www.hpcsa.co.za if you browse on that webside you will see that short course BAA/BAC is no longer done in the whole country. The last course for short course was last year

  Hey guys.. So way off topic, but a friend who was recently put in hospital under his hospital plan has had a spout of medical neglect and they have left him in worse state than he went in with due to lumber puncture issues. He is now being turned away as his medical aid wont cover him. I have searched medical ombudsman but cant seem to find a sold way forward? Thank you

  Melinda C. asked:

  I have a question and will need legal advice. Last year my mom had an operation to remove a goiter in her throat. Unfortunately when they did cut her open they realised she had anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. The outcome was bad and there wasn't very much they could. It seems they sewed her back up but had the cheek to tell my dad that it went well and she's doing great! Two days later she died. I have asked my dad and 2 brothers over and over again as to whether the doctors had given them the real prognosis. They have all said! Surely it's a doctor's duty / ethical code to pass that information on. Is there any legal recourse that can be taken? Would it be a case? Can anyone advise?

  Zubair F. asked:

  Can someone please give me advice, my brother had to go to Lenmed Casualty about 3 Sundays ago, he was getting chest pains, he was graded as orange and we had to pay R 3260, this excluded bloods and x rays etc. he had to be admitted and transferred to a government hospital after consult. He now gets an SMS from Lenmed stating he still owes further R 2500 which is Lenmed fees outstanding, can someone advise if this makes sense, how is this possible? Anyone know someone I can talk to at Lenmed as the accounts people are failing to explain exactly what is going on and are damn rude? I think this crazy, Thanks in advance...

  Catherine B. asked:

  Hi all! I am needing some research assistance! Does anyone know where I can find a list of food additives which are permitted and which are banned in South African food? The Department of Health apparently doesn't maintain such a list (!). Many thanks.

  

  African B. replied:

  Hi Catherine, really surprised that the DoH does not have or maintain such a list. Wonder if they may be able to put you onto some health professionals that will know more? http://www.hpcsa.co.za
