You don't even wanna know how tiny mistakes have killed people. People sitting next to a child to give a flu shot can sometimes lead to putting there gloved hand or needle on a unclean surface. That leads to so many deaths it will make your head spin

The sterilized needle touches an unclean surface before it is used on the child. It has caused lots of deaths that why in some hospitals everything is so micromanaged which is good for the patient in a way but alienates the hospital workers

Yes, tiny mistakes can lead to huge consequences... but that was NOT a tiny mistake. There are strict regulations in place that prevent the slightes chances of this happening. Contamination is a HUGE thing in medical/medicinal industry and because of that, it is most likely a result of a large scale neglect. There simply is no room for this type of mistake and therefore the preventative measures wouldn't allow for it to happen easily.

They’re calling it a “tiny mistake” to minimize their own liability. Tiny mistake = tiny compensation. It’s disgraceful.

I wish I could say I surprised by the girls friends abandoning her, but I’m really not. I’ve seen it happen to so many people. It’s sickening, but the average person doesn’t want a sick/disabled friend. And before anyone reading this starts into their self-righteous thoughts of “but I’m not like that!”, I ask you to please take a look at your friends. How many of them are disabled? How many of them have constant doctors visits and hospital stays? How many of them need mobility devices to get around? I’m going to guess the answer is zero, because it usually is. To make the situation even harder for disabled people (a group I belong to), many of us don’t work so we don’t meet people the way other people do. That makes both friendships and dating really hard.

Of course disabled people have valid lives but those highschool teens are shooting for the stars, trying to become models/businessmen/doctors ect.. They do also realise that they have to enjoy life but they do this by drinking to meet partners and partying. Don't get me wrong, a lot of them fail and become depressed seeing their friends succeed more. I know that life is more but some of these teens have been taught these lessons since childhood by their parents. Life can really be a drag sometimes when you're forced to participate in the competition for meaningless succes that'll eventually lead to more money and luxery if you're lucky. But it's the way that society works, not very fun. So just be happy with who you are and think of many ways to enjoy life in your own way.

YifeiLIM91 - I actually know a girl who briefly held the record for the largest sum awarded in a medical malpractice trial. Lawyers from all 50 states flew in for the final verdict and it had to be moved to a larger venue. Obviously, the mistake in question was catastrophic. A doctor teamed up with a medical testing manufacturer to lie to cover up faulty equipment. They then lied to an ER to get the ER to the patient away unseen, to try to hide their lies. A baby went from a bright future to being told the best thing would be to give her morphine while her mom held her while she died. The mom demanded they at least try to save her baby. The end result is a child who is mildly-to-moderately developmentally delayed but locked in even more than the girl shown. She has extreme medical issues and is now on hospice in her final days of life, at only 25 years old. The hospital that turned them away settled quickly, practically yelling, “please take our money!” They knew what they did was horribly wrong. The device manufacturer took some detective work to uncover the depth of their lies, but once the truth came out, they knew better than go to court and they too settled. The doctor, though, tried to fight it. This resulted in a massive court case. The doctor lost and the award was massive. The doctor then agreed to a settlement that was less than the declared winnings and finally paid up. (In the US, an award like that is always hotly contested, meaning the families can go years, even decades, without seeing a penny. So people who lose badly will often offer to settle for a smaller sum in order to avoid the massive legal fees that would be caused by multiple appeals.)

The fear of that mother to die must be unbearable. Not for her but because of her precious daughter. Love is real.

Anna is so so cute. I love how her mother has kept her hair long, much harder to maintain but a real mood-lifter for Anna. Since Anna’s friends are still young, like her, they’re most likely struggling with what to say, what to talk about, afraid they’ll say the wrong thing, how to communicate, etc. Then when you add major guilt to the mix for not visiting, they’re in a real quandary. Plus, can they ever share what’s happening in their lives too?? Of course!! Anna’s mom needs to help them realize that it would bring joy to Anna to hear all about their lives as well. Please take a different approach & help Anna understand that her friends mean no harm. Maybe Anna & her mom could invite them to the house for a little party either on Anna’s bday or another occasion, and make sure to make the house lively with Anna’s favorite music & treats. Young people need stimulation. Anna & her mom could include little notes with the invitations retelling a fun little memory that Anna had with them. This would not only help break the ice & help her friends feel more comfortable, but it would also show her friends that Anna is the same fun-loving Anna, just with a new normal.🌸

There is a family who's daughter stopped growing at 6 years old and who's mind and body was like a baby she couldn't talk or walk properly. Maybe she was the one who was really "locked in" although I hate using that term or looking at it like that. Who knows how much she understood. she passed away in 2013 she had a loving family. or what about Lizzie Valezquez shes still alive born with a mutated gene which keeps her from gaining weight like everyone else so her appearance and diet is different but overall shes normal but she went through and still goes through a lot of bullying and rejection. People called her the ugliest woman (I don't agree) she has a loving family and she's so positive and accomplished a lot of her goals like finishing university and she wants to get married and try to have kids. I honesty think if you have a strong loving family you will probably be positive and more resilient if you have to deal with these things.

I hope they help them Financially for the rest of her life

I can’t imagine how frustrating this is constantly. She has essentially had to grieve a death of sorts but one that is her own. She’s still so young. I hope she got the compensation and was able to get intense therapy to regain some speech.

Now I have blood clothes in that leg and I have to take Bloodthinners for 2 years or longer. Buttttt....I still can walk and talk.

It's really good your brain remained so healthy though, a lot of people are unlucky and get largespread oxygen damage to critical brain-areas. Although, most people I know that have had bloodcloths have to take bloodthinners for the rest of their lives to reduce the risks.

If and hopefully when I become a surgeon, I swear I will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS make sure things like this are properly done. It is stories like this that motivate me to want to go into that field. Bless you both a thousand times.

Except it wasn't the surgeon's fault, it was the nurse's.

What tiny mistake it was no mistake it was negligence from the hospital why aren't they in jailllll

That is just so sad.

Wow😢 God bless her mum to keep caring for her

She's just beautiful. Her heart and her soul are beautiful, too. And what a wonderful mother. I'm not from the UK but I really hope the NHS has come through for her so that she has the best things available to her to help her have the brightest future ever.

All because someone didn’t do their job & properly clean the equipment

Heartbreaking 💔 so sad 😞 this young lady is entitled to every penny of that compensation to meet her care needs. The people responsible for this should be sacked.

Yep 👍

When she looks at her mother, there's pure love, she's just beautiful

Anna is amazing! She’s been through so much and has come out smiling and that shows how brave she is x

What a beautiful stunning soul. I know a 6 minute interview doesn't tell the whole story, but I felt so touched and inspired to see two people who have gone through so much and yet she didn't stop smiling once. People who go through adversity and come out the other side positive and resilient give more back to society then they could ever know.

My prayers are with this family. Anna deserves so much more.

O hope they were properly compensated- not that anything can ever make it up. Very sad 😢 Bless her and admire her for her strength.

I'm glad at least she can smile and try to say yes... Bless

I hope you get everything you wish for sweetheart. You are beautiful and mom you are giving her all the love a mom can give. Stay strong. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is so sad...I had my appendix taken out in my teens and I just think how this could have happened to me. I wish her the best.

That mom is like a text predictor on the phone. She really knows her daughter inside and out and loves her daughter so much. Thank goodness they have each other. I'm also glad that the hospital did take responsibility in the end. That is so rare.

She’s a beautiful girl! I’m sorry this happened to her and her family. They need to get her an electronic toothbrush for her teeth. I’m not sure if they’re damaged from the medications, but I hope they take care of her dental health soon.

Greg ! She has cavities on them, her mom does too. I’m trained in the dental field so by default I notice bad dental health. I only mentioned it because bad oral health is linked to heart disease and I think she already has enough to deal with at this time.

Bella Donna what are you talk about ffs

This is so sad!!! I had no idea that could ever happen!!! Wow!!! And after 4 years no compensation??? And how do you trust doctors again???

I hope new people find their way into their lives. Just a friend would be such a blessing.

I know very little about this but I really hope they get some equipment to help Anna speak. I can’t imagine what it’s like for her.

I'm so sad at what happened to her but so happy she's still in there somewhere. How heartbreaking for her and her mom. I'm crying at how much the mom misses the daughter's voice.

This is sooo sad, my sister just had her appendix out and this is just scary 😔

"I would be living my life" that got to me so bad and I just feel so sorry for them, but especially for Ana because she is clearly very aware of what she's lost and that's truly tragic

Im so glad they figured out she's still in there.

She seems like such a bright and positive young lady and I would love to be her friend. I cannot understand why no one visited her during one of the most difficult times, yet she has somehow stayed so strong throughout everything. She seems like she is able to comprehend absolutely everything around her, yet she is unable to communicate... It's tragic.

I can’t believe how tragic and I can’t believe her friends from school didn’t even visit her not even once!

Such a beautiful young and determined girl! I hope she receives a substantial amount of money. To be able to live the life she desires! And the support her and her mother deserves. In times like this. Is when one finds out. Who one's true friends are! How very sad. That those who sent well wishes. Abandoned her! But on her journey in her new life she will make new friends. And those friends will accept her. For who she is. A beautiful intelligent. Determined. Girl. Blessings to them both. For their future!💕

British health care really needs to change. My grandfather was killed because of a stupid mistake a doctor made. And now my grandmother who fell and hurt her back at age 83 is being told she doesn't need a x-ray, despite telling them she can hardly walk because of the pain.

sophie m that's why I go private. Too many diseases and neglect in the NHS, partly because or too many people and unqualified staff. With private you have to pay but your life and health is worth more than all the money in the world

This breaks my heart!!!!! Prayers for both of you

Omg! How heartbreaking! 😭😩

The room is very pretty, that's helpful emotionally. So sorry for your injuries... I hope your feeling better now.

Her hair is super cool

Very very sad!

So sad and terrifying, very touching how well Anna's mom can interpret what her daughter is trying to communicate. Still, so unfair that this close relationship is result of negligence.

The huge price of a mistake and the "value" of friendship... these are two of the saddest things, I feel deeply sorry for her. Hope she will continue to smile.

No amount of money could give her being happy as she was and being free and it all boils down to a lazy person that didn’t care and that’s how so many people in this world are they don’t care they go to work and do as little as they can to get a pay check then they wonder why didn’t I get a raise I hope she gets a ton of money plus medical for life and I pray that our father the LORD shows us another miracle and heals her better than before and you are loved by many of us out here. God bless! 💯👍🏼😊

I actually teared up at the tear stains on the get well soon card. Anna you are amazing and never forget it

My heart goes out for them ❤

My heart goes out to her. I feel for her mum too. But they took so much from her by this careless act.

Are there any updates on this story? This young woman's super spirit has inspired me to stop feeling so glum abt my life. the little things we take for granted, we should be thankful for.

Wow! This is so gut wrenching sad. My heart breaks for Anna and her mom. I wonder if The Guardian has any updates? I would love to know if they were compensated or at least able to get a computer voice gizmo for Anna and some well deserved respite for her mother.

She seems so sweet too, I feel so sorry and angry for them.

It's so inspirational to see how happy she is

Reusing cannula is disgusting. You are supposed to toss or recycle them.

I wish Ana & her mom the very best

This is heartbreaking. I hope that by some miracle she improves.

Unfortunately mistakes do happen and I'm so so sorry...the love they share is so beautiful...I hope they receive what they need and more to try and help them both to be more comfortable for their futures. Bless you both. ❤️

That isn’t a tiny mistake. Any decent nurse would have checked the line first.

Poor girl. Bless them both.

I can't begin to imagine how hard it must be to lose so much at such a young age.

Not changing a small thing as a cannula is just negligence. It almost cost her her life and even lost friends because of her mobility difficulties. Darn right their compensation is gonna be substantial.

I love how they communicate and how her mother knows what shes spelling.

Nothing is ever as bad and as heartbreaking as this xo

its nice that anna still smiles a lot though i really hope they get lots of compensation if that's all that could be done to help these two

*Bless her SHES ALWAYS SMILING.* ❤️ Broke my heart when all her “friends” she hasn’t even seen... seemed like they turned their back on her... But what the actual hell. And GOOD!!! Sue the hell out of those people.

So glad to hear she is doing better now. Such a beautiful girl

My heart goes out to them! It really does that poor girl and mother❤️
