Patient died after surgeon's mistake infected transplanted organs

That patient suffered extreme pain and internal bleeding as a result of the infected organ. They were in an induced coma, needed 16 blood transfusions and also dialysis for more than a year.

The trust admitted it had breached a duty of care by the surgeon's failure to record the cut into the donor's stomach. But solicitor Jodi Newton, a medical negligence specialist at Hudgell Solicitors, representing the patient, said:"No matter what the outcome had been in this case, the failure to ensure that everybody involved was aware of the serious accident which occurred when removing the organs from the donor was reckless on the part of the surgeon.

The patient, who still suffers the physical effects of the failed transplant, said:"What angers me to this day is that fact that the surgeon who removed the organs from the donor wasn't honest."I think that is completely unacceptable, and it makes you wonder how many other potentially life-threatening mistakes are being made and not owned up to or covered up."
