Aggie Tymicz says the experience has made her lose her trust in the NHS
A mum claims she found a piece of medical equipment stuck in her son’s foot after a trip to hospital.The 43-year-old hit out after her 10-year-old son, Adam, spent two weeks in hospital after a piece of rod used to drain a wound was found under his skin.
Aggie spoke of her anguish at how distressed her son became every time blood was taken or cannulas had to be inserted. She reached her breaking point when, she claims, a piece of old ‘rod’ was found in the wound on April 23. “I had been taking photos of the wound each week too. Part of the skin on the foot was peeling and then became red, like there was an infection.
“They wanted to give him another drip for antibiotics for the UTI but he was begging and screaming at me not to let them do it. I asked if we could give him tablets instead. He was so distressed,” Aggie said. “I have lost all my trust in the NHS,” Aggie said. “I feel like I can’t do anything to help him and there has been a complete lack of care. The doctors tell me I’m there to comfort Adam but I feel like I need to watch over them.
