Case studies

We secured compensation from Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust for a client who had a small piece of plastic tubing left inside her after weight loss surgery.

Our client was 18 years old when she first saw her GP in 2009 with problems with her right arm circulation and pain in her right shoulder. She was diagnosed with Raynaud’s phenomenon, a common condition that affects the blood supply to some parts of the body. She was referred for an X-ray that confirmed the presence of a cervical rib together with thoracic outlet syndrome, a condition caused by nerves and blood vessels becoming compressed by a lack of space between the base of the neck and the armpit.

In this medically complex case, our client was transferred to St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington to remove a catheter which had become knotted and stuck in his left iliac vein during an ablation under general anaesthetic.

Our client was admitted to BMI Healthcare’s Hampshire Clinic for the removal of a lesion in the salivary gland. During the operation, a Redivac drain was inserted into his neck.
