The surgeon declared a successful operation was feasible, consisting of the removal of a narrow strip of flesh ol the calf. The anaesthetic failed, and the girl was fully conscious during the operation, but after the wound was stitched, and the girl was sent to bed, she began to suffer agony, necessitating a postponement of the operation on the.other leg The foot began to blacken, and the doctors advised that amputation was necessary to save her life. Her fiance was hurriedly called and underwent a marriage ceremony at the bedside. Then the leg was amputated. The girl recovered and is now suing the surgeon for £4OOO compensation.
