After a U.K. man all of a sudden got diagnosed to have an uncommon, life-threatening illness that is worse than cancer, the man needed a few amputations with a specific end goal to survive.
Yet, since the nearby hospital in England that was prepared to treat him was full, he got stranded in a Spanish healing center miles from home in a country where his language is not spoken.
While on holiday in Majorca, Spain with his wife and little girl, Matthew Parkes, 38, began to experience a sore throat. A little while later it turned out to be pneumonia which brought about organ failure and sent him into septic shock. He was put into a medically induced coma.
The medication the Spanish hospital gave him influenced his blood flow making him get a hand and both of his feet amputated.
Taking after the amputations, Parkes was determined to have Castleman Disease, an uncommon lymph node issue that clarified why the sore throat turned out to be so much worse so quick.
Caslteman has indications like cancer and now he has tumors in his collar bone, spine, and pancreas.
Wythenshawe Hospital is prepared to help Parkes fight the illness yet needed to put him on a waiting list in light of the fact that they did not have enough beds.
“I’m shocked. Your spouse is in astounding wellbeing, has never been in a hospital, and after that all of a sudden you think your spouse is going to die,” Pamela Parkes, Matthew’s wife, said.
“Last time he was awake he said he loved me and he thought he simply had pneumonia –if he awakens the best case scenario is he is told he will be handicapped for the rest of his life,” she added. “The worst scenario is that he does not have long left. I cannot live without him.”
Matthew is trapped in Spain while his family is trying to get him a bed at the English hospital.
His wife had to return home to care for the children. Her spouse is stranded in Spain still in a state of unconsciousness.
“Our critical care beds are at full capacity because of the seriousness and complexity of the patients we are presently caring for,” Dr. John Crampton, the director of the University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust said. “This capacity is much of the time reviewed consistently.”
