An NHS worker has told how he lost blood ‘up to 15 times a day’ after medics wrongly diagnosed his late stage cancer as worsening of an irritable bowel.
John Clegg said he was left “looking like a skeleton” before doctors eventually discovered the actual cause of his health issues despite attending his GP’s office more than 20 times in a two-year stretch.
The 37-year-old was initially dismissed as suffering from a worsening of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) he has lived with since 2005, however pushed physicians for a colonoscopy in January last year.
