A man died after the results of his CT scan were left on a desk for six days, an inquest heard. Trevor Reynolds, a retired HGV driver from Abergele in Conwy, passed away on May 15, 2021 at Glan Clwyd Hospital.
The 79-year-old underwent a scan at the hospital on a bank holiday Monday, May 3, as he was receiving treatment for cancer of the oesophagus. The scan revealed that he had a blood clot which required urgent care.
Three days later, the results were placed on a consultant's desk, though the consultant was out of the office until May 12. Mr Reynolds had been experiencing difficulty with his breathing and eating at the time, and on May 10 he was visited at his home by a doctor and was taken to hospital immediately, reports North Wales Live.
