\"\"Most of us would go to the Dr and if he told us we were green we would probably believe him as we think they know best. Clearly they didn\u2019t in the case of one girl who will remain unnamed. <\/p>\n

The girl was told she had a malignant bone tumour in her right leg and underwent major surgery to remove most of the leg below the knee and had a metal plate fitted in place of this. The metal plate was causing her great discomfort and restriction. An example of this is that she was used to playing tennis as a hobby, she used to enjoy it a great deal but she could no longer play the sport because of the horrific mistake. <\/p>\n

To make matters a million times worse! The so called \u201cmedical professionals\u201d revealed to her that they were wrong and that she didn\u2019t have any form of cancer and the chemotherapy they had been treating her for and the amputation was all totally unnecessary!
\n<\/p>\n

However, she contacted her local Independent Solicitors and was awarded a 6 figure sum for what she had been through. We all appreciate no amount of money can forgive or make up for what happened to her but at least it may help her to be financially secure. <\/p>\n

She has now got an amazing life, she is a sign language teacher and a mother of two, happily married and about to swim 21 miles for charity. <\/p>\n

Should you be misdiagnosed in any way shape or form, it may be a wrong prescription medicine or something major like the story above, please do contact a team of Independent Personal Injury Specialists<\/a> as you could be entitled to compensation<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
