Mum-of-six told to 'go back to bed' by doctor faces losing parts of toes and fingers after organ failure

A mum-of-six faces losing parts of her toes and fingers after suffering multiple organ failure. Michelle Griffin was told by doctors to "go back to bed" after they believed she was suffering from a kidney infection, however, the 28-year-old's organs were shutting down.

Michelle, from Llanllyfni in Gwynedd, Wales, was prescribed antibiotics, but just two days after a house visit from a doctor the desperately ill mum had to drive herself to Ysbyty Gwynedd district general hospital, reports NorthWalesLive. Michelle was diagnosed with pneumonia, sepsis, and a possible blood clot on the lung.

The "nightmare" was only to get worse according to Michelle's brother-in-law, Sion Hughes. He said: "On January 4 the doctor came round to visit her as she was really poorly but he kept saying: 'She's all right, she's all right' and: 'You can go back to bed'. Then, two days later, she had to drive herself to Ysbyty Gwynedd in absolute agony.
