Fighting till the end: An extract from Adrienne Cullen's book, ‘Deny, Dismiss, Dehumanize’

Adrienne Cullen took on the Dutch health system after she was left with terminal cervical cancer following medical negligence.

The University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU) board offered a settlement of €545,000 on the condition that Ms Cullen stay silent about what happened to her. She refused, ignored the gagging order and went public. She then campaigned for a non-gagging clause policy in medical facilities across Europe.
