Oh my! Woman Dies From Rare Flesh-Eating Disease After Being Injured During a S*x Game With Her Boyfriend

A young woman has perished from a rare flesh-
eating disease which got hold of her after she
was injured during a game of s*x.

Katie Widdowson, a young mum has died from a
rare flesh-eating disease after being injured
during a s*x game with her boyfriend.
According to The Sun UK, Katie Widdowson, a
care assistant, told medics she had hurt her wrist
while being restrained in bed.
However, hospital doctors diagnosed a simple
sprain and sent her home – missing warning
signs that it was something far more serious.
The next day, 24-year-old Katie, from Castle Vale,
Birmingham was rushed back to hospital – and
had a heart attack while in the ambulance.
The much-loved young mum was found to have
the flesh-eating bug Necrotising Fasciitis, and
died from the bacterial infection shortly
afterwards.
Katie’s partner, chef Dean Smith, told the inquest
that the couple had been together for five and half
years and that she had a young child.
On New Year’s Day this year, Katie went to work
and later sent him a photo of her wrist, saying
she was in a lot of pain and couldn’t move it.
She went to Good Hope Hospital in Sutton
Coldfield but came home having been diagnosed
with a sprain and given painkillers.
Next morning, Katie was still in pain and had
developed blisters. She was taken to Heartlands
Hospital.
Concerned Dean said they had previously had
sex, during which he had restrained his
girlfriend’s wrists.
“I do not remember much about it,” he told the
inquest. “It’s not anything we have ever done
before.”
Assistant coroner Emma Brown said Katie had
been to Good Hope’s A&E department just before
midnight and complained to a nurse of pain in her
left wrist.
She had explained that she was unable to feel her
fingers, and the pain was spreading up her arm.
Ms Brown said the mum’s temperature, heart and
pulse rate were all abnormal and she should have
been observed every 30 minutes.
But despite seeing two doctors and having an x-
ray, she was told she had a sprained wrist, and
was discharged.
The coroner said that she should have been kept
in hospital and undergone major surgery.
As a result, there were “clear failures” on the part
of both doctors.
“They flagrantly ignored the policy that was there
for the very situation Katie found herself in,” said
Ms Brown.
“Her early warning score was six and should have
resulted in regular and ongoing observations and
further investigations. These were not carried out.
If Katie had remained in hospital, it is clear that
her death would have been avoidable.
“These mistakes amounted to a gross failure to
provide basic medical attention. Katie’s death was
due to Necrotising Fasciitis contributed to by
neglect.”
The coroner said there could be other
explanations for the initial injury she had suffered
but the most probable one was when she was
restrained.
Mr Brown added that she had been given no
proper explanation by the hospital for what
happened.
She said the Trust had now taken steps to try to
prevent a similar situation happening again.
After the hearing, Katie’s stepfather David
Widdowson said the family intended to take legal
action against the Trust.
They plan to pursue a claim that the hospital’s
negligence led to the tragedy.
Katie’s mum, Pat, paid an emotional tribute to her
“beautiful” daughter.
“She was both beautiful inside and out,” she said.
“She loved animals and she loved people. She
went to Lourdes with terminally ill people.”
