Clinical Negligence
M v Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Trust
The Claimant suffered injury to her hepatic ductal system following a laparoscopic cholecystectomy causing leakage of bile. When this was eventually recognised a further operation was performed to insert a T tube to allow the duct to heal. The tube however was removed too early causing a further bile leak and further surgery was required. The claimant experienced a very stormy recovery period involving substantial weight loss, pain and frequent vomiting. The pain and vomiting persisted after the initial recovery period causing substantial disability which affected the claimant’s employment and caused a deterioration in her life quality. Although initially fiercely contested the claim settled with the claimant accepting £65,000.00 in compensation.
