A mum has revealed the devastating impact a serious birth trauma injury had on her life following a six-month diagnosis delay from Pinderfields Hospital.
Ashley Roper, aged 37, suffered a buttonhole tear of her perineum while giving birth to son Albi at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield in June 2017. She subsequently had to undergo surgery which “failed” and she developed further injuries that went misdiagnosed. Ashley, a payroll specialist, said: “When you go into hospital to have a child you never expect this kind of thing to happen.
“After many dark months to be told that the fourth repair surgery had worked was such a relief. I’m still not right and am at risk of developing complications in the future, but I’m learning to adapt and regain more of my life.” Following her “ordeal”, she instructed medical negligence lawyers at Irwin Mitchell to investigate her care under Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs Pinderfields Hospital. The Trust admitted a breach of duty.
