Hospital staff mistakenly recorded her weight as 40 kilograms heavier than she was
A woman from Skelmersdale who was left in crippling pain by a huge ovarian cyst was taken off an operation waiting list after medics got her weight wrong by SIX STONE.
Jennifer was passing out and vomiting in September 2020 and no idea at the time those dreams of her future would become scarred with pain. Doctors discovered that Jennifer had a mass on her ovary, believed to be a cyst, needing surgery. “They said it needed to be removed because it had twisted on itself and cut off its own blood supply. The ovary was dead and would have to be removed.
“I don’t know if I’ll be able to have children, it’s been left so long. Something that should have been a simple procedure at the start probably isn’t going to be now.” “I told the hospital it was unfair to have to wait until June to speak to someone about it, so they got me an appointment in March of 2022.
“I was angry that there mistake but the relief that they were going to do the operation at all outweighed almost everything,” Jennifer continued. “I sat in the car and cried in the hospital car park with the relief that they wouldn’t take me off the list completely and leave me as I was. Alison Kelly, Director of Nursing at Salford Care Organisation said: "We would like to apologise to Ms. Newby for any delays she experienced in her treatment at Salford Care Organisation. Like many NHS services, we are working hard to reduce our waiting lists to ensure patients are seen as soon as possible.
“So I’m on these painkillers that I don’t need for months, but I’m having to come down from a lot because there was opiate based prescriptions which you need weaning off.
