A patient who was left scarred for life when an operation left him with horrific burns on his buttocks has received a payout after suing the NHS.
Paul Hickman, 44, underwent routine surgery to improve circulation in his legs when medics wrongly used a heated mattress.
He ended up with significant burns as a result of an alcohol-based solution coming into contact with the back of both thighs and backside. Paul was left in constant pain and scarred for life following the operation in March 2021.
