Alan Blakey sued a Hull NHS clinic claiming a lack of care led to his infected finger being removed.
Alan Blakey took legal action against City Healthcare Partnership, which runs Bransholme Urgent Treatment Centre in Hull
Care worker Alan Blakey visited the urgent care centre in Bransholme, Hull, in January 2019 when his finger became swollen after he removed a splinter.He later attended hospital with an infection and had the finger removed."There was tracking, a red line about an inch wide which went up to my armpit from my hand. I also had swelling the size of a golf ball inside my elbow, it was really concerning.
"The procedure didn't work, you could see the finger was black and had died. When I was told it needed to be amputated, well, there was shock, but at that stage you think, 'well there's nothing more that can be done' and you have to go with it, " Mr Blakey said.
In an out-of-court settlement, City Healthcare Partnership admitted liability and a compensation award for damages was agreed. The amount was not disclosed.
