A British woman who is suffering from a dangerous disease since birth, had filed a case against her, holding her delivery doctor responsible for this condition. After hearing in this case, the court, finding the woman right, has given the verdict in her favor and she has won the case. After losing the case, the doctor gave the woman millions of pounds as compensation.
Let us tell you that 20-year-old Avi Tombs, born in 2001 with a rare disease named spina bifida, holds the doctor responsible for this dangerous disease. Abby believes that her condition is due to the effect of wrong doctor’s advice at the time of her birth. This is because because that doctor had not given the right advice to her mother regarding the medicine, due to which she was born disabled. For this reason, she filed a case of conception on the doctor.
Evie Tombs says about this that she was not supposed to be born. The disease they have is due to not taking the right dosage of folic acid medicine. In such a situation, if the doctor had asked her mother to take folic acid medicine, then the situation would have been different with her, but the doctor told her mother that if she continued to take a good diet, then she did not need to take folic acid pill.
Let us tell you that AV’s lawyer told the court that his mother did not want to conceive, but after the doctor’s advice, she decided to go ahead. If doctors had advised her to conceive after completing her folic acid course, her baby might have been born healthy. On the advice of the doctor, her mother did not take the pill, as a result of which today she is battling a disease called spina bifida. What is spina bifida Actually, due to this rare disease, they sometimes have to resort to tubes for a full 24 hours. The spinal cord of a child suffering from this disease does not develop in the womb.
In this case, the London High Court, while ruling in favor of Avi, has ordered him to pay a huge amount as compensation. Although the amount was not disclosed, AV’s lawyer said that the amount is enough to meet his life-long needs.
