Since 1994 we no longer have Medical Aid we have Health Insurance, not the same! They work with codes one they know what they will pay, even the doctors have no clue having to re-code then re-submit after you phone them to point out the error.
Find me a country that runs smoothly in much at all these days!
Greed is Money, Money is Greed both bring power then the people bleed.... my words!
yup, got that right, but tbh right now I cant complain, I have to have a cochlear Implant inserted inside my skull, the process started in August, had cat and mri scans and all that palaver, the operation is January, which is damn good when waiting times are about 2 years in the UK for other ailments. On the flipside dentistry is a total opposite, have to now go private.
Early years our government run hospitals were of exceptionally high calibre with doctors and equipment, actually never bothered with private...., with medical insurance appearing and change, would not touch the government hospitals, also no say in the matter the insurance decides which you can use.
Hope implant is a great success!
Money talks if you have it, poor folk turn to traditional healers many do not trust state run hospitals, don't blame them!
Sangoma traditional healers also charge or trade.
distinction between the ancestrally designated diviner or mediator lsangoma, and the herbalist or doctor inyanga who works primarily with herbs.
Herbal side of healing most interesting as they rely on plants found locally.
