Public Hospital Starved of Funds in Sydney, Services Suffer
The public hospital, situated in an affluent neighbourhood in the capital of the state of New South Wales (NSW) is said to be suffering from relentless budget cuts.
The recent case of miscarriage at a toilet in the hospital has sent shockwaves across the nation.
Tuesday night a 14-week pregnant Jana Horska went to the emergency department after she experienced cramps.
When she arrived at the hospital at 7pm, Ms. Horska said there were 15 people in the emergency room, but what happened next would not occur even in a "Third World country", her husband Mark Dreyer said.
Horska, 32, was left waiting for two hours after being told she was miscarrying.
It was only after she collapsed in the toilet - alone and going through the agony of miscarrying her baby - that staff rushed to help.
"What makes me angry is that I got all this attention afterwards - and that is what I should have got (in the first place).
"Imagine if (the miscarriage) had happened in the waiting room with all the people around."
The couple, speaking to The Daily Telegraph at their home, surrounded by baby furniture, said they were too scared to contemplate another pregnancy.
"You are meant to enjoy your pregnancy but I will always be thinking about what has gone on," Ms Horska said. "Every time I go to the toilet I keep remembering that I was holding it (the baby)."
