Hospital Incompetence and Insensitivity

(Essex, England) A 27-year-old mother, Danielle Tivey, grieved over the stillborn arrival of one of her twin boys and asked the Southend Hospital for the remains of Tommy so that a proper funeral could be held.

Miss Tivey had to fight for eight months to get the remains since the hospital staff lost the paperwork.

When the remains were finally released, a hospital receptionist simply handed a horrified Miss Tivey a brown envelope containing skin and tissue samples contained in six wax blocks.

Distraught Miss Tivey claimed she was physically sick and the episode left her suffering nightmares and also affected her relationship with her partner, George.

She has now been awarded substantial damages after the ordeal left her with deep psychological scars.

Hospital bosses have apologized.
