A marathon-running grandad who's big toe became infected had to have his leg amputated - after being sent home from hospital with painkillers.
Avid sportsman James Devlin, 63, visited hospital three times in six weeks after he dropped a wardrobe on his foot and pleaded for treatment. But after being sent home from hospital with tablets, his toes started turning black and he was diagnosed with gangrene and reduced blood flow to his lower left leg.
And just days later, surgeons were forced to amputate his limb, forcing him to take several months off from his job as a charity collection and delivery driver. James now needs a wheelchair to get around and is reliant on his wife, Jeanette, 59.
