Dad?s op delays prove costly

[Northerner]

From my home town! 🙂

A BRIGHOUSE pensioner suffered nine months of excruciating pain after a catalogue of delays in his medical treatment.

Mr Kenneth Marshall, who suffers from diabetes, had a finger amputated at Bradford Royal Infirmary last week and his family is convinced that inadequate care over the summer contributed to the decline in his health.

His daughters Julie and Carol are now thinking of seeking legal advice over failings in his care.

Mr Marshall, aged 74, has had diabetes for a number of years and the condition contributed to an operation to amputate his leg 10 years ago and a toe six years ago.

Perhaps teaching him and his wife to manage his diabetes would be a good start 🙄
Surely alarm bells should have rang all those years ago and close monitoring should have been carried out.
The latest bad treatment and delays there is no excuse for though.

His history certainly does indicate that his control was poor over many years - wonder how old he was when diagnosed?
