Tom London Shares The Context Of His War Against Helen Joseph Hospital

Loading player...
What began as a simple chest cold escalated into a life-threatening condition that left Tom battling pneumonia and a massive pleural effusion — over a litre of fluid in his lung cavity.

On Wednesday, the 4th of September, 2024, Tom posted a heartfelt message from his hospital bed. After nine days of intense treatment, he shared, “I’ve been in a hospital bed for nine days now going through seven shades of medical hell but today I’m strong enough to let my friends know I’m conscious and fighting this.”

Tom’s story quickly went viral, with hundreds of thousands tuning in to his Facebook Lives. He spoke candidly about his ordeal — from being left in a state of discomfort to witnessing a patient across from him pass away without immediate assistance.

“Doctors here, you are giving Doctors in South Africa a bad name. I am so angry with you. This is the Helen Joseph Circus Hospital, where Doctors experiment on you,” Tom said.

Tom came into the 919FM studios to speak openly about the "before, during, and after" of his experience in a dismissive, abusive state of being under their medical care.
