Juanita Graham lost the sight in her left eye during an operation at Bath's Royal United Hospital.
A surgeon sacked by a hospital after raising safety concerns has accused the trust of a cover-up after a patient was partially blinded during an operation.
"What was meant to be a simple operation has now left me with scarring and permanent damage to my optic nerve and I won't be able to see again." After the operation, a Root Cause Analyses report produced by the trust said the hospital was not to blame, although it did say the risks could have been explained more clearly to Mrs Graham.Mr Colbert is identified as the lead investigator in the Root Cause Analysis Investigation
The RUH has declined to comment on Mr Colbert's accusations of a cover-up, although it has recently told Mrs Graham that it will reopen her complaint. "I still have pain to this day, even to move the eye. The eye is not closing... and I get a lot of infections. My life has now changed."
