15-year-old Cork teen sues a Kerry out-of-hours doctor service over alleged meningitis misdiagnosis

A 15-year-old Junior Cert student from Cork, who had to have both legs amputated below the knee after contracting meningitis when she was three, has sued a Kerry based out-of-hours family doctor service in relation to her care.
Senior Counsel Dr John O’Mahony told the High Court today the case was enormously tragic and distressing concerning Gemma Hayes when she was over three years of age.
