Judge praises ‘truly heroic’ efforts of woman in caring for her daughter who developed neurological deficits after surgery
A woman settled an action for €1.3 million over hospital care her daughter received during brain tumour surgery at Cork University Hospital in 2001, which allegedly led to neurological deficits. The family argued that a pre-operative MRI scan could have influenced the surgical approach. The judge praised the parents' "truly heroic" care for their daughter, who now requires full-time care due to cognitive impairment, deafness, epilepsy, and inability to walk unaided.
