NHS Criticizes Doctor in Death of Woman

(Lincolnshire, England) A 35-year-old woman, Cindy Corton, experienced a drunken fall in a bathroom in 2005 which caused a toilet brush to be impaled into her buttock.

Unfortunately, National Health Service (NHS) emergency medical personnel failed to notice, even after an X-ray.

Additionally, "it took Mrs Corton, of Sleaford, Lincolnshire, two years to convince doctors that the handle was lodged in flesh."

By then what should have been a routine procedure to remove it had become much more dangerous.

After two unsuccessful operations in 2007, Mrs Corton underwent further, much riskier surgery and died from massive blood loss at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre in June last year.

As a result, in inquest has issued a wrist-slap verdict which criticizes the doctor who first examined Mrs. Corton.
