The first on approach paid parking area was full; I had to wait for someone to leave before I could park. 'Normal at visiting hour, I suppose, but it made a hole in my visiting time.
'Got shouted at, "No, next one!" twice as I tried the first two entrances, until I found the far right 'Covid' entrance. Ouch!
Nice restaurant, pharmacy and gift shop inside, but no-one present at the Info desk early in the visiting hour. Untíl I pulled out my camera, of course. Then more shouting, "Why you taking photograph!!" (Okay, not shouting, just a little bit loud.)
Surprised, one evidently regular visitor remarked about the right-hand lift, "Hey, Wow! - it stopped here... Normally it doesn't stop at three..." ??
But! I was shócked to see my patient friend in his private ward. Nevermind his aches and pains - he looked like a newly discovered old hobo caveman with his long, dirty, unkempt hair and unshaven beard!
This, normally well groomed gentleman's personal hygiene, well into his third month there already, seems last, but more like absent from their four to R5k per day!!? 'Professional Patient Care' list. And no, his aches and pains had nothing to with the shampoo and shaving cream parts of his anatomy.
So, should you ever get seriously sick, rather go'n see Uncle Sipho, our friendly iNyanga/Sangoma at his shop opposite the taxi rank. There's a nice Bu0026B around the corner (at less than R5k per night) should you need to stay over. 'Just not sure if he does Medical Aid or credit card payments. And take your own shampoo.
