Woman who sprained her wrists died of flesh-eating bug

Post by mechwilliam »

Katie Widdowson, 24, went to hospital in agonising pain after she hurt her left wrist on New Year's Day.
Doctors initially dismissed her concerns, saying she had suffered a sprained wrist as a result of the game and sent her home with painkillers.
But the next day Katie was unable to move her arm which had turned black and blistered and she was rushed back to hospital.
Katie suffered a heart attack in the ambulance and was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at hospital
