There many here from England.. Hopefully they can help your with your Legal issues in this matter.

So very sorry to hear about this. You must take care of yourself. The Hospital should be paying for your medical care right now.

The hospital wont be very helpful as they wont want to admit liability, you need to see a solicitor asap & as LC advises keep all paperwork, records of treatment etc. Sounds like you have a good case to sue the authority, make an appointment with a solicitor i think you'll find you get free advice, good luck Angel x

Solicitor immediately. Keep all paperwork. The only thing that the hospital will do is try to hide their negligence and wait for time to go bye so that the witnesses are gone. He who hesitates...
