A hospital has apologised after a man being treated for spinal injuries fell from a hoist - giving him life-changing brain damage. Andrew Kent, 45, is now unable to walk, talk, shower or feed himself, his mum says.
Andrew, a gardener, was admitted to Northwick Park Hospital after being badly hurt in a motorbike crash. He then fell from a hoist used to transfer him between his bed and wheelchair during treatment.
This left him with damage to his frontal lobe - which means he now needs round-the-clock care. Andrew's mum Vicki Gooding, 64, has become his full-time carer.
