THE MOMENT I GOT INFECTED BLOOD THAT GAVE ME HEP C
The Sunday Mirror
|May 19, 2024
Victim hopes for answers in crucial report
AGED just 11, brave Rob Brown sits hooked up to hospital drips... unaware he is being given a blood transfusion that will slowly destroy his health.
Rob, now 60, shared the image from 1974 of the treatment that gave him hepatitis C - which medical records indicate was known to doctors, but kept from him.
The transfusion left him destined to be one of thousands anxiously hoping for answers in an official report on the blood scandal to be published tomorrow.
Rob was given the contaminated blood at Farnham Hospital, Surrey, after an op to remove his appendix went wrong.
He had the bottle attached to his jugular vein during a 41-day hospital stay months after the initial surgery - when it was found dressings had been left in his body, causing abscesses and gangrene.
INFECTED
Rob had to have multiple ops and was given more than 100 litres of blood.
