The medical profession usually provide a caring service with a high standard of excellence. However there are occasions when patients treated on the NHS or privately may be the victim of a medical accident. When that accident is attributable to incompetence or lack of care, it may be possible to bring a claim for clinical negligence compensation.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Tina revealed that in 2004, after falling awkwardly she broke her left wrist and was admitted to hospital. The break was severe enough to require pins so she was operated on and discharged from the next morning.
After three days she noticed bleeding through the cast. Hospital medics assured her the bleeding would stop but ten days later she was suffering from a high temperature and severe pain, while the arm itself had begun to smell like rotting flesh.
Doctors removed the cast and discovered a serious infection in the wound, later diagnosed as MRSA. Tina required a further operation to clean the wound; over the next few weeks the wound required regular cleaning and several different antibiotics were tried until an effective treatment was found.
MRSA is a common bacterium found on the skin, which is normally benign. However, if the bacterium enters the bloodstream it can be extremely dangerous as it is resistant to common forms of antibiotic. It is estimated that MRSA is responsible for around 5,000 deaths a year.
