According to sources from The Telegraph, a young mother in Wales who was fitted with the dangerous PIP breast implants containing industrial grade silicon has died after a suspected overdose which the Telegraph says could be related to the worries and fears over having the implants inside of her.
According to the report (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9227694/Young-mum-died-after-worrying-about-PIP-implants.html), 24 year old mother and civil servant Paige Goldup had been airing her fears publically over social networking sites and was quoted to have said how stressful the situation was for her and how she was worried about having to pay for removal and replacement.
The report goes on to say she was a loving mum with so much to live for, leaving her family both baffled and heartbroken as to how this has happened. She was found unconscious at her home and was taken to nearby Moriston Hospital in Swansea where she tragically later died. An inquest has been opened and adjourned whilst toxicology and other tests are carried out.
It’s an absolute tragedy of a story. We have been dealing with hundreds of victims of the PIP implants scandal for claims for compensation, and we know that there is one thing that all the victims have in common (other than having the PIP implants) – they are all concerned and upset about the implants that have been fitted inside of their bodies. We know that for many it is a stressful time, and for many it is far worse than for others. But this story is an entirely different matter altogether.
Naturally our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this truly difficult time. Whilst it’s obvious that the PIP problem is causing considerable amount of stress, worry, and anxiety for all of the victims involved, one thing to remember that the NHS are able to remove implants free of charge, and there is the possibility of making a claim against the clinic, so any money you may have to pay out may be recoverable.
But no amount of money can take away the fact that a further operation, amongst a considerable amount of stress and anxiety, is the only option for the majority of the PIP victims.
