Hi 6 years ago I had catastrophic surgical complications, a hysterectomy resulted in a perforated bowel and a fistula. My life fell apart and I couldn’t eat or drink for months . They said it could be fixed after 2 years had elapsed and in 2017 a fix was attempted, it also failed and I nearly died ending up in ICU with respiratory failure,
In 2018 I looked into a clinical negligence claim but I was seriously depressed and diagnosed with PTSD, I couldn’t proceed with the litigation as I couldn’t cope with it all. A long awaited second opinion told me I could never be fixed as it was too dangerous and I woild have to live with the fistula and other health conditions caused. When I tried again to pursue litigation I was told I was out of time owing to limitation,
my health is getting worse and I’ve now developed other probkems because of the infection and inflammation caused by the fistula. It feels like a slow death sentence yet it seems the litigation door is firmly closed and I wondered if there is any discretion here, I have 3 stoma bags and worry about growing old without appropriate care.
can anyone advise please .
