A grieving husband who lost his wife and "best friend" has slammed the care she received before she sadly passed away. Michael Hargreaves' partner Diane tragically died after collapsing at home on May, 12.
Two weeks prior to her death, Diane had been admitted to a ward at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham with a split hernia, with the mum-of-three said to be in "agony". The hernia was causing such a blockage that she was unable to use the toilet due to it being located on the front of her stomach, reports NottinghamshireLive.
The first visit to the centre lasted for three days but Michael was informed by staff that an operation would be "too risky". His wife, according to him, was given a laxative and sent home with "no proper aftercare".
