The woman in Örebro County reported the pain several times, but none of the nurses she contacted examined her. Instead, she was prescribed painkillers over the phone without a doctor's prescription.
This is according to a lex Maria report the municipality filed with the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (Ivo), NA reports.
Finally, when the woman was exhausted and had a discoloured leg with a wound, she was taken to hospital. Doctors diagnosed tissue death and amputated her lower leg.
The municipality believes its home health care service failed to make a proper medical assessment and has therefore reported the incident.
