GP has apologised for the "devastating complication" that saw a pensioner lose both her lower legs after injecting a chemical into a main artery by mistake during a treatment for varicose veins.
The doctor suspected he had mistakenly injected an artery, something he had warned the woman was a "very rare complication". Two weeks later, she had both her legs amputated below the knee after being admitted to hospital with discoloured, painful feet.Cooper found the GP failed to provide treatment with reasonable care and skill.
