Hospital Error 'Paralysed Newport Teen'
A hospital has admitted to leaving a teenager paralysed from the waist down after a spinal anaesthetic was wrongly left in place for too long. Sophie Tyler, 14, of Risca, near Newport, underwent gallstone surgery in Birmingham Children's Hospital in 2008, but a pain-killing epidural was left in for two days, permanently damaging her spinal cord. The hospital said it was "deeply sorry" and that it had made changes to prevent it happening again. Sophie, now 17, underwent the surgery on 27 May 2008, solicitors for her family said.
