No one should have to endure that psychological torment - Family who lost mother to medical misdiagnoses

A family, who lost their much-loved mother due to a medical misdiagnosis, are calling for tighter guidelines and procedures to be put in place in public hospitals nationwide, as they do not want others to suffer like they did.

The mother of five and grandmother of six, Christina 'Chrissie' McGagh, a nurse, suffered seven rib fractures after a serious fall down her stairs at home but the injuries were not identified despite being X-rayed at St Luke’s General Hospital in Kilkenny in October, 2012.
