Cheadle: It’s such a sad story. Terry Grainger, a 61-year-old dad, died just days after heart surgery. He seemed to be doing okay after the operation, but things took a turn.
He had a quadruple bypass on February 2. After that, he started feeling short of breath. Doctors found fluid around his lungs and put in a chest drain.
On February 9, they removed the drain, and Terry felt unwell afterward. The doctors were puzzled because patients usually feel better after that. An X-ray showed bleeding, and he was moved to intensive care.
Sadly, his condition worsened quickly. They tried to help him, but he went into cardiac arrest. It’s heartbreaking to think about how quickly everything changed.
His wife, Karen, shared how much he meant to her. She said, “The day Terry died, half of me died with him.” They had so many dreams together, and now they’re shattered.
After the inquest, she expressed her anger and sadness. It’s tough to face each day without him. They just wanted answers, and at least now they understand what happened.
A lawyer representing the family said they’re glad to have some clarity, but nothing can replace the loss. The hospital expressed condolences and promised to improve their record-keeping.
This whole situation is just tragic. It’s a reminder of how fragile life can be and how quickly things can change.
