NATIONAL NEWS - A man suffering from throat cancer died a painful death early this morning, 22 May, after allegedly not receiving proper medical care from the Dr Yusuf Dadoo Hospital.

A 64-year-old man from Krugersdorp West was admitted to the hospital yesterday just after 6pm as soon his wife realised that he is bleeding profusely from an open wound in his throat.

A family member said the bleeding started when the dressing was taken off in order for his wife to clean the wound so that she could place a fresh dressing over the wound.

“Blood ran from his throat – it really looked as if someone is slaughtering an ox at the slaughter house.”
