Mrs HALL, who had type 2 diabetes and hypertension developed critical limb ischaemia in April 2025 for which she underwent bypass graft surgery without incident. The surgical wounds were slow to heal and she suffered infections after her surgery. This, combined with her comorbidities, left Mrs HALL with limited functional physiological reserve which contributed to her being unable to overcome septic shock after being readmitted to hospital on the 7th August 2025.
