Girl, 7, loses both legs to meningitis after she's sent home with 'tummy bug'A GIRL lost both her legs to meningitis after doctors sent her home from A&E with what they thought was a tummy bug. Brave Brogan Partridge was seven-years-old when she was holidaying in Cornwa… Such a shame. Maybe if our NHS wasn’t stretched to its limit looking after migrants and obesity our system would work better. A young girl's life forever changed because of the incompetence of those doctors. Those responsible should never be allowed anywhere near a hospital again. But, we live in a soft touch society, lesson will be learned, and they will be back in positions of trust. 🙄🙄🙄 Well this is as shocking as Harry giving psychiatry lectures in a school classroom while telling young children they have mental problems..
