Woman who died from sepsis ‘had all to live for’

A woman who died from sepsis after developing an “extremely rare” infection “had everything to live for” after losing eight stone for an operation, her daughter has said.

Melissa Barry was speaking after the Dublin coroner returned a verdict of medical misadventure at the inquest into the death of Susan McGee, aged 52, from Skerries Rd, Rush, Co Dublin.

The mother of two died at Beaumont Hospital on July 24, 2013, having developed a rare C.diff (clostridium difficile) infection after a hernia operation at The Hermitage Medical Clinic 11 days earlier.
