‘I lost leg after docs ignored me’
by Helen Johnson15/ 7/2008
DOCTORS at a local hospital are being blamed for an 80-year-old having to have his leg amputated.
Relatives of Tom Talks, a man who has raised thousands of pounds for charity, have made an official complaint to the Pennine Acute Trust.
It is being claimed that after breaking his ankle in a fall in May, Mr Talks, of Swallow Drive, Bamford, had his right leg put in plaster at Fairfield General Hospital.
Mr Talks says he's not angry. Well, there goes one far more forgiving man than I could ever be. Good luck to him.
