Sources from The Derby Telegraph have confirmed that a paramedic told a man to take pain killers following chest pains when he was later admitted to hospital after half of his pancreas had ‘died off’.

The ambulance service has apologised after the victim was left at home instead of being referred for the urgent and immediate medical attention he required. Two days later he was referred for urgent admission to hospital by his GP where the discovery was made.

We put our trust – and often our lives – in the hands of the medical professionals we see. Whist many professionals do a fantastic job, and whilst we must always remember that there are frontline staff fighting an uphill battle in an age of public spending cuts and the ongoing credit crunch, there are certain things that should never happen.

So the question of ‘what do I do?’ if something does appear to have gone wrong is normally one of the first on a victims lips; especially because, when things do go wrong, they can often go horrendously wrong.

It can be rather difficult to win a compensation award for personal injury caused by medical negligence. There are plenty of inherent risks and things that cannot be immediately identified right away, and these delays or problems can cause serious suffering.

But we must show that the medical professionals involved have been negligent in the expected duty of care they have for you to make a claim – so how do we do this?

Whilst on my way to the polling station for EU and local elections earlier today, I heard on the radio that an investigation has revealed that the NHS are discharging patients in the middle of the night. Now, if those patients are escorted and fully able and ready to be discharged, I suppose it’s not really a problem. But investigations have revealed that some patients are simply being discharged dangerously early – which has to stop!

Medical negligence claims are inherently hard to win. The line between what is accepted as an ‘inherent risk’ or an ‘unavoidable scenario’ and negligent care can be thin. Most surgical procedures carry with them inherent risks, and some injuries and conditions are not easy to identify as quickly as we might hope.

But when it comes to waiting for care or waiting for a diagnosis, what is classed as too long? When delays result in complications or problems, what can be done?

We can sometimes offer 100% compensation for medical negligence claims – read up here

Medical negligence claims are often very hard to win. If you have suffered whilst under the care of the NHS, it does not automatically entitle you to compensation for any pain and loss caused. It’s about proving that the duty of care that has been provided was below the expected standard, and that this has caused the suffering.

100% Compensation for Medical Negligence Claims

According to recent sources from the BBC, disgraced surgeon David Jackson who was sacked back in 2007 following a string of complaints spanning potentially decades has caused further anger at being allowed to voluntarily remove himself from the medical register instead of being struck off.

According to sources, Mr Jackson has managed to evade hearings with the General Medical Council citing ill health which has left victims of his negligent practise in further distress at the time it has taken for the GMC to act.
