Radiation overdose girl to sue
Glasgow health board is to be sued by the 15 year old girl who was subjected to radiation overdoses on a number of occasions
during her cancer treatment. The mistake was blamed on human error. Reports suggest that she could suffer brain damage or
be left paralysed, and she has been warned that she could be dead within five years. Her lawyer said that he couldn’t imagine
that the board would try to deny negligence and any dispute would be on how much the compensation should be.
