Nursing

Mrs D went in for her first baby and during the labour was given an epidural for pain relief. There was no negligence attached to the epidural however Mrs D was left in the same position for approximately 2 to 3 hours possibly lying on wet sheets following the insertion of the epidural. As a result she developed scarring on her buttocks which further developed into a Grade 2 pressure sore requiring dressings for approximately 6 weeks. The scarring developed a keloid appearance and continues to cause discomfort. There was no loss of earnings.

Matter settled. Damages agreed at £7,000.00.
