Stephen Brown had two blood clots that could have been fatal after they were left undiagnosed by his GP surgery who thought he had an infection.
A builder who went to A&E riddled in pain was told that he may have had just 24 hours to live despite going to his GP for help.
The dad was actually suffering from deep vein thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism and was warned there was a high chance he would have been dead if he had left going to hospital any later. The dad-of-two said: “At the hospital, a doctor turned around and said I had two blood clots. Both could have been fatal. They told me it was lucky I came in tonight because in 24 hours there was a high possibility I could have been dead.I said ‘I’m sure it’s more than that I’m in agony’. I was prescribed antibiotics and told to stay at home and rest.”
He added: “I’ve had to learn to walk again, I’ve had to have a stick for two months. I had five months off work - I’m broke. I’ve had to stop working as I’m not fit enough to do it.
