Husband died at Northampton General Hospital after delays in blood vessel surgery
Husband died at Northampton General Hospital after delays in blood vessel surgery A Northamptonshire woman wants to highlight the signs of her husband's fatal condition to stop others suffering the same fate. Bryan McKim, 65, underwent successful surgery on a swelling of the aorta in 2012, but was taken unwell again in February, 2013 after bringing up blood. Mr McKim was rushed to Kettering General Hospital on February 7, 2013 for diagnosis and but was referred immediately to vascular specialists at Northampton General Hospital (NGH) for urgent surgery. However, despite KGH's assessment, the operation never happened and Mr McKim died the following morning after a “catalogue of errors.” Northampton Chronicle and Echo
