According to Edna Lomuhle, the nurse in question allegedly treated her in the most inhumane way, but she did not specify what exactly had happened.
The post went viral with over 100 shares and people jumping on to share their own experiences with the nurse in question.
“She once yelled at me when I was in labour. I answered her back and she would not admit me. She made me sleep on the floor and told me that all the beds were full, until one of her colleagues woke me up to go and sleep on a bed,” wrote a user who wished to remain anonymous.
It was also mentioned in one of the comments that Sister Luphoko had once slapped a patient who was in labour.
