A 26-year-old British woman, Jasmine, went to the hospital due to severe leg pain but had to wait 16 hours before receiving surgery, resulting in the unfortunate amputation of one of her legs.

The hospital admitted to shortcomings in their examinations, and Jasmine is currently undergoing legal proceedings with the hospital, hoping to use her experience to warn others.

A 26-year-old British woman, Molly Harbron, went to the emergency department of a regional hospital in West Yorkshire due to severe leg pain but experienced a 16-hour delay in treatment, ultimately losing a leg. Reportedly, on a night in April 2020, Molly went to the emergency department of Dewsbury District Hospital due to sudden pain, numbness, and discoloration in her left leg; however, the hospital delayed surgery until 16 hours later. What Molly found unacceptable was that, after enduring 16 hours of excruciating pain, her left calf was amputated. When she woke up from anesthesia and saw the doctor showing her the amputated leg, she initially couldn't believe it due to the phantom limb sensations, but as the reality set in, the running enthusiast and nursing professional felt utterly despairing, crying uncontrollably. After an 18-day hospitalization, she resigned from her nursing job. The hospital explained that the doctor suspected Molly had dangerous deep vein thrombosis (DVT) at the time but did not conduct adequate examinations, causing the surgery to be postponed until after 1 AM the following morning; the hospital acknowledged their oversight. Molly and the hospital are currently engaged in a legal process for compensation, and she emphasizes that she hopes her story can prevent others from experiencing similar pain.
