The case of
alleged medical negligence taken by Thomas Hill against Tullamore Hospital and
the HSE, continued today in the Four Courts.
Evidence was given by Doctor Camillus Kevin Power, a specialist in Anaesthesia and pain management at Tallaght Hospital, whom Mr. Hill attended from 2001 to 2003.
Doctor Power gave evidence as to the areas of the body where Mr Hill’s pain was most acute; that being from around the ribs down as far as the left groin area.
On questioning from the defence, the specialist said it was incorrect to label chronic and acute pain as one and the same, in fact they were two very different things.
The court also heard that Mr. Hill only gets about 2 hours of sleep a night due to the severe pain he suffers, and had visited psychiatrist Jennifer Power in relation to this.
