Claire Boyd lost half her body weight when the artificial feeding she needed did not happen.
Health correspondent, West of EnglandKevin Boyd said clinicians at Swindon's Great Western Hospital failed to notice Claire had lost almost half her body weight in a matter of months.
"I was literally waiting at the hospital to take her home because we were led to believe this would be a two-hour appointment but then I find out she is staying in hospital, induced coma in intensive care," he said. "In an off-guarded moment, a consultant at University College London told me that they had seen this before," he said.Claire had lived with the abdominal pains for eight years and Kevin is now questioning the need for the procedure.
"She did faint in the car on the way home and her body temperature was reduced by two degrees which is a very clear sepsis marker," he said.Three days later, the 41-year old mother-of-two was rushed by ambulance to Great Western Hospital in Swindon. Her weight had fallen by 27 kg, more than four stone.Kevin said his wife's weight was not monitored properly.
