'I fear dad may die after flesh-eating bug devoured his leg on holiday – docs say he needs amputation in ‘dirty’ hospital'
A short time later, infection flared up and Alan was diagnosed with a flesh-eating disease."His leg looked horrendous, but because he wasn't being turned over or helped out of bed, he had bed sores that were just as bad," Kristian said.
While his dad was battling the infection, the place he had been staying was demanding rent and taking his belongings to cover the cost. The hospital was also demanding the soaring medical bills be settled in cash, even though the nearest ATM was nearly two miles away.Doctors there said they could remove the infected leg, but the operation was repeatedly rescheduled, leaving the family with spiralling bills for treatment.
Hull MP Karl Turner, who has been helping the family, said: “Since Kristian contacted my office regarding his dad’s situation I have been speaking with government ministers continuously to see if they can help with Alan’s repatriation to Britain.
