In Britain, a 25-year-old girl suffered a stroke due to contraceptives (2 photos)
Danielle Jones, 25, went to the doctor with severe headaches and vision problems that indicated she was at risk of a stroke. However, after examining the woman, the doctor reassured her, saying that the symptoms were not dangerous.
Six months later, Jones lost consciousness and was sent to a clinic, where she was told she had suffered a stroke. An investigation by medical malpractice lawyers found that the doctor had made a mistake by continuing to prescribe Danielle contraceptive pills despite the patient's complaints.
The clinic has acknowledged the employee's mistake and apologised for what happened, noting that the practice poses an unacceptable health risk. A British woman who has suffered physical and cognitive impairments has spoken about the severe consequences of her stroke and hopes that she will be able to recover.
"I always enjoyed playing sports and meeting friends," she said.
