The case:
Our client attended his local hospital complaining of severe testicular pain and suspected that his testicle had twisted. He recognised the symptoms having experienced these same symptoms 8 years prior, resulting in the removal of his left testicle.
Despite explaining his medical history to doctors, he was misdiagnosed with an infection and sent home. Returning 2 hours later with increasing levels of pain and having waited through the night to be seen again by a doctor, he was eventually diagnosed with a twisted testicle requiring immediate surgery.
Our client continued to experience problems post-surgery due to the wound becoming infected and his experience has impacted overall his quality of life.
How we helped:
True were able to prove that the hospital was negligent in their treatment of our client and the subsequent misdiagnosis of his condition and obtained a settlement figure of £150,000.
