The heartbroken mother of three blamed Karen Hospital for negligence of her late husband, back when they still had the chance to save his life but did not.
She failed to understand why the medical staff ignored other possibilities that eventually saw her husband succumb.
I asked them why they only focused on Covid-19 while he could also be suffering from something else. I wish they did everything for him, but it has happened.
