## Resource

A 55-year-old woman, Margaret Letsholo, died at a clinic after her family says staff ignored her desperate need for help—refusing stretchers and watching as her husband performed CPR. The family blames the clinic’s inaction, especially during a critical, time-sensitive emergency, and says even basic compassion was absent. An e-hailing driver captured the harrowing scene, and while a stretcher eventually arrived, it came too late. The Gauteng health department has launched an investigation and offered condolences to the grieving family. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
