PART ONE
Introduction
Kiyana Mills was born on 9th March 1936. She has three children, James Oliver who is 50, Janine Josephine who is 46 and Gregory Anthony who is 45. She also has five grandchildren. From 1963 she trained and subsequently qualified as a general nurse. She then trained as a midwife and qualified in 1968 where she then practiced until year 2000 when she was forced to give up work following surgery to her eyes.
Kiyana Mills had worked for the NHS between 1963 and 1979. She then took a break from her career when she went on a mission in the 1980s. When she came back she worked for various agencies from 1984 until the weekend before her operation in June 2000. She was first diagnosed with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus in 1985 although she had been suffering from hypertension since the late 1970s. Apart from that she was generally in good health until 1999 when her eyes started to noticeably deteriorate. As far as her previous medical history is concerned, she was involved in an accident and fractured her 9th and 12th ribs on her right side. This though was not detected until 3 weeks after the accident. She also fractured her right wrist in 1996 after slipping on ice and in addition had a fungal infection affecting the nails in her right hand as well as the nails in her feet this continued for several years.
As a midwife she did a lot of lifting and bending, which aggravated the pain in her back and right side, which she continued to suffer from on occasion. She was referred to one of the NHS consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon who referred her for Physio. Other than that her health was generally good.
What transpired between Kiyana Mills
and the National Health Authority
In 1994 I underwent surgery to my right eye including laser. In April 1995 I underwent further laser treatment to my right eye. I cannot remember if I saw two different doctors or just one at the hospital in 1995. I simply cannot remember. The fact that I underwent this treatment in 1987 and 1998 showed that I was not steadfastly refusing any kind of laser treatment in 1995. I had simply been told that it probably would not improve my eyesight and I knew from past experience that it would be painful. In the autumn of 1995 I was seen by one of my consultant registrars. When I visited the clinic, I was treated in an appalling manner. On arrival at the Eye Clinic the nurse put me into a cubicle and placed drops in my eyes. Next I was called and shown into a doctor’s room that appeared to have no time or patience for me. When I did try to ask about my condition I was ignored as if I would not understand.
I recall the discussion with the Registrar over having more laser treatment to my eyes. I spoke to her about what the last doctor had said to me concerning the laser treatment and the negative value of laser, the doctor said the laser maybe leaving scar tissues in my eyes and does not stop me from going blind while the most painful laser treatment was being carried out. I told her what the doctor, had said, that once the diabetes affects the eyes there is no cure, and I therefore asked her what was the point of having painful treatment to my eyes if in fact it was not going to make a difference in the long run. Would it not be better to go blind gradually? I was hoping that she would reassure me but I was not.
During this period I continued to attend the diabetic clinic at the hospital throughout 1996 to 1998. On 12 August 1997 I underwent laser treatment to my left eye. I also had laser treatment to my left eye on 3rd February 1998 and 7th April 1998. In addition I underwent laser treatment to my right eye in May 1998 and again in November 1998. In about July I was attending a routine diabetic clinic at the medical practice of my GP. My GP said that he could not see my retina and wrote a letter to the hospital to that effect. I went to the department of Ophthalmology at KC Hospital. The doctor there told me that my left eye had been bleeding and that it need to be evacuated. At this stage I could see light and dark in my left eye and had good vision at the bottom of my visual field. My right eye was fine.
On 25 November 1999 a senior register carried out a vitrectomy on the left eye. After the operation there was very little improvement in the sight of my left eye. I asked the Doctor about this and he said that he did not get everything out. I attended the follow up clinic at KC Hospital twice. The last time that I went I was told that I had a cataract
