That Daily Mail story is a dreadful piece of journalism! Badly written, badly photographed...
(joking!)
The story goes:
"A young mother spent three days fearing she could die after blundering hospital staff wrongly diagnosed her with a deadly brain haemorrhage. Amy Cartwright, 21, was told by staff at George Eliot Hospital in Warwickshire, that scans had shown bleeding on her brain. Such a condition could cause permanent brain damage or even be fatal. But after three days and after being seen by seven different doctors Amy was told there had been a mistake and the scan had been misread."
Sounds like quite a story, until you read half way through that she "had had a brain tumour removed the year before", which whilst not excusing the hospital if they got it wrong (and very sad for her) does put their assessment in a different light.
