A PLYMOUTH mum who had her fingers and thumbs partially amputated due to sepsis, after being bitten by the family dog, is now taking legal action against the paramedics.
Michelle Ellis, 45, is suing medical professionals who allegedly advised her to stay at home and take paracetamol following the canine attack. She was bitten twice by their pet on her right wrist and outer forearm, which led to "flu-like symptoms" just two days later, prompting her to call an ambulance.
The mother-of-four showed paramedics her bruised skin which had a mottled appearance and told them she was suffering from a high temperature, breathlessness and shivering.
