Medical Errors at Aintree Hospital

A recent Freedom of Information Request made to all 172 NHS Trusts by the Daily Mail revealed that a patient died at Aintree University Hospital as a result of a breathing tube becoming dislodged, triggering a fatal heart attack. In the same hospital a chest drain which was inserted to relieve pressure on a patients lungs was wrongly inserted and punctured their heart and in a further case a patient underwent the wrong urological procedure.
