A WIDOWER is to sue Royal Blackburn Hospital following the death of his wife.
Maureen McDonald waited hours to see a hospital doctor after she fell ill during chemotherapy treatment.
Her husband Alan said: “I’m suing the hospital for medical negligence. Cancer patients can’t go through this.”
He said that she had needed antibioltics urgently.
“They have a one hour window to survive. It’s the pits.”
Mrs McDonald’s death prompted a serious untoward incident review at Royal Blackburn Hospital after her husband Alan raised concerns about her care.
The report produced by the hospital trust found: *Two nurses had failed to recognise how ill she was.
