I refer to the unfortunate report on your usernet regarding alleged
deaths in Pelonomi Hospital Bloemfontein South Africa.
This story which surfaced around two years ago initially referred to
a single patient and despite a thorough investigation was
not substantiated. It is sad that the story would appear to
have escalated to allegedly weekly deaths and as such casts serious
doubt on the standard of South African health care. The story which is
patently untrue is typical of an urban legend.
Be assured the story which is black humour at best and in poor taste
in reality, is just that - a story.
