Medical Negligence: Refusal of Treatment

Posted on October 31, 2018 by - Blog

Medical negligence can happen to anyone at any age. Take a look at this case study to learn more: An eight month old boy being denied “potentially life-saving” treatment at a UK hospital that would be given it at any hospital in America.

The parents broke down in tears as they listened to medical evidence relating to his rare genetic condition and what his doctors say is a “vanishingly small” chance of his survival.

But an American doctor who has agreed to attempt a pioneering treatment for his disorder, said that it was “reasonable” to attempt to save his life and if he were in a hospital in the USA his parents would have the option.

The UK based hospital applied to the High Court for permission to withdraw life support and argue that he should not be taken abroad for treatment as it will prolong his suffering.

Accident at Work: Forklift Truck

Posted on October 29, 2018 by - Blog

Today, we talk about a Accident at Work that could happen to anyone. A member of staff at a logistics firm had her life changed forever after an incident with a Forklift truck.

The warehouse did not have sufficient segregation between forklifts and pedestrians which meant a forklift was able to cross onto a pedestrian pathway causing a life-changing injury to the staff members leg.

The staff member was rushed to hospital where surgeons tried to save their leg but their foot had to be amputated. Over the next few months this injury required further operations on their leg, eventually meaning a further amputation.

In the UK, up to five people a day have a life-changing injury caused by Forklift Trucks ranging from loss of life, amputation and broken bones.
