A Leeds baby who was screaming in pain whenever she passed solid foods and a boy who kept vomiting blood were in vital need of liver surgery – but kept being turned away even though their issues were potentially fatal.
A shocking BBC docu-series showed how Leeds General Infirmary struggles to secure beds for their patients to the extent that even the most needy who are due to be operated on have to be turned away countless times.
One-year-old Maya-Mae, who’d already had one operation cancelled, appeared on BBC Two’s Saving Lives in Leeds which broadcast tonight (March 8). The baby was born with a large cyst growing in one of the ducts of her liver. The cyst was life threatening and needed to be removed or risked becoming a cancerous tumour.
