Paramedic seeks compensation after clinical negligence

A clinical negligence case is being launched by a paramedic who had part of his brain removed during surgery mistakenly.

John Tunney, from Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, launched the action against University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, which has already apologised and admitted liability.

Mr Tunney had a biopsy in 2008 after scans had shown a tumour in his pituitary gland, but his lawyers say a surgeon wrongly removed some healthy brain tissue, rather than the tumour.

Pamela Tunney, wife of the 63-year-old, told how the error has had a "devastating" effect on his life, leaving him partially sighted and requiring constant supervision and support.

"Prior to the surgery, he was a very easygoing person who was always active and on the go. To see the change in him and to know that it was all entirely avoidable is extremely upsetting," she said.
