Brandrick’s Ordeal

After John Brandrick, a 62 year old man from Cornwall who, upon being told in
2005 that he was suffering from incurable cancer and had less than a year to
live, went on a spending spree. In 2007 the Royal Cornwall Hospital advised him
that the diagnosis was wrong, and that his illness was not life threatening. He
now is bankrupt and is considering suing the Hospital for compensation.
