Rectopexy mesh journey published in a memoir

I have documented a full and detailed account in my memoir ‘The Grace of a Nightingale’. My story tells how I became seriously ill, there was a significant delay in diagnosis, harm  and subsequent life changing losses – career (university lecturer), marriage, home and friends. My story goes onto tell how despite the trauma I survived and rebuilt my life.

The Grace of a Nightingale attempts to expressively and reflectively trace the stories of my life one of which describes how I nearly died following the insertion of surgical mesh, the biggest health scandal since Thalidomide.
