Craig Mackinlay will return to parliament on Wednesday just six months after having four amputations.
Conservative MP Craig Mackinlay has revealed he has had both his hands and feet amputated after contracting sepsis last year. The MP for South Thanet is due to return to parliament on Wednesday, eight months after he was rushed to hospital. He told his constituents in December he was diagnosed with sepsis in September 2023 and placed into an induced coma with multiple organ failures.
'I was surprisingly stoic about it... I don't know why I was. It might have been the various cocktail of drugs I was on.' All the amputations took place on 1 December and Mr Mackinlay said a 'sombre' Christmas followed. But he said his four-year-old daughter Olivia 'adapted to it very easily... probably better than anybody else frankly, I think children are just so remarkably adjustable'.
