Operation on haemophiliac boy was vital, inquest told
An operation carried out on a young haemophiliac, who died three days after surgery at a Dublin hospital, was necessary for his continued treatment, an inquest heard today.
Pierce Nowlan was admitted to Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin, on October 11, 2004, to have a device fitted into a vein that would have allowed the regular injections of a blood-clotting agent.
