Exclusive: Parents say Maddy Lawrence, 20, was failed by medical staff after rugby injury at university led to infection
When Simon Lawrence arrived to visit his 20-year-old daughter, Maddy, in hospital after she suffered an injury in a rugby game, they managed to have a laugh that she had picked up her first “proper” knock.
It seemed a given that she would quickly bounce back, allowing her to carry on with her studies and undergo rehabilitation so she could rejoin her beloved university team. “Yes, it was a serious injury but not a life-threatening one,” Simon said.
