Harvey Weinstein rushed to hospital after ‘alarming blood test’ | US News

Harvey Weinstein has been taken to hospital after an “alarming blood test result”, his lawyers have said. The 72-year-old required “immediate medical attention” following the test and was taken from the Rikers Island jail complex to Bellevue Hospital in New York City, according to his lawyers. Weinstein’s lawyers said: “Harvey Weinstein, who has been suffering from a lack of adequate medical care and enduring deplorable and inhumane conditions on Rikers Island, has been transported to Bellevue Hospital for emergent treatment due to an alarming blood test result that requires immediate medical attention. “It is expected that he will remain there until his condition stabilises.” They added: “His deprivation of care is not only medical malpractice, but a violation of his constitutional rights.” The former movie mogul is awaiting a retrial over his 2020 rape and sexual assault conviction, which was overturned by New York’s highest court in April. The case is set to be retried in 2025. Weinstein has denied any wrongdoing. Last month his lawyers filed a legal claim against New York City alleging …

Woman gets £575,000 payout after ‘rushed’ childbirth left her with stoma and PTSD | UK News

A mother from Wrexham has been awarded more than half a million pounds in damages for injuries she suffered during childbirth. Maternity services make up more negligence claims and payments than any other hospital department – and campaigners say it reflects underfunding and overworked staff. It took Amy Stead, 37, nearly three years to fall pregnant, but childbirth left her with injuries that will last a lifetime. During her labour in 2019, she suffered a tear so severe it left her with a permanent stoma.

She said her obstetrician was “in such a rush to leave” that she missed the injury. She added: “Had she taken more time and care over what she was doing… she may have seen it, and they could have put me to sleep and repaired it properly.” Image: Amy says her injury might have been spotted if the obstetrician …
