To care, or not to care: is that not the question?
Abstract
In today’s “Die Burger” (20 August 2010), the leader article grabs your attention: “Seven people die in hospital whilst strike goes on”. Two babies died in the Natalspruit Hospital because they were not fed for a full day. In the same hospital, a nurse was forced out of an operating theatre, leaving the surgeon and anaesthetist on their own during the operation. Another baby died in the JS Moroka Clinic in Mpumalanga because the mother giving birth did not receive any assistance. Strikers are intimidating fellow workers who dare to continue working and threaten to set fire to ambulances.
