A dad's cancer was missed after a nurse claimed staff were too 'overworked' for a second opinion, an inquest was told.
David Anthony Hulme, 49, tragically died at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth following a misdiagnosis in March 2021 - one month after receiving the correct diagnosis for lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph system, PlymouthLive reported.
Clinicians and pathologists at the hospital previously believed Mr Hulme was suffering from sarcoidosis, a rare condition that causes small patches of red and swollen tissue to develop - David was diagnosed with the condition in 2014.
