A PENSIONER has died of skin cancer after claiming doctors sent him home with paracetamol for an orange-sized lump on his head.
George tried to ignore the black, egg-sized lump but the pain eventually became too much and he went to see his doctor in February this year. He explained how he had slipped in his daughter's bathroom and cut his head open and that after patching him up, doctors sent him home. He claimed the advice was repeated at two further visits until a new doctor sent him to see dermatology experts at the Community Living Health Centre in Gillingham, who referred him to Queen Victoria Hospital.
