Hospital apologise after Limerick pensioner ‘heard saw cut leg bone’

University Hospital Limerick has apologised after a Limerick pensioner had to endure the trauma of “hearing the saw that cut the bone in his leg” during an amputation.

On top of this, it emerged that Peter Stapleton, aged 77, picked up a superbug at UHL.

Mr Stapleton “languished in an isolation ward” for three months, according to family correspondence with the hospital.
