Woman sues NHS after surgeons stitch up bowl by accident

The 55 year old woman attended Horton General Hospital for the operation which left her suffering from severe stomach pains as a result of medical negligence.
However, after returing to the hospital two days after the operation, medics failed to diagnose the error and instead advised her to eat more stating that she was just constipated.
She was later found to e suffering from an internal rupture to her bowl and underwent a second operation to correct the damage.
She is now seeking compensation from the Oxford Radcliffe Hospital NHS Trust.
