Weltevreden ward at Krugersdorp hospital

Recently I went to the Netcare Krugersdorp hospital and burst out laughing when I discovered one of the wards was called:

WELTEVREDEN WARD

Weltevreden means well satisfied and those poor patients were anything but.  In the ward I was visiting were 5 beds. In bed A was an elderly man who looked like he was dead, Bed b had a body whose head was covered  by a blanket, Bed C wasn't there, Bed D was empty and appeared to be recently vacated and the man who I was visiting in Bed E had been in a car accident and was in a load of pain.

Well satisfied?  I think not!!
