Trim Mum Bravely Opens Up to LMFM About Almost Dying During Routine Medical Procedure for Endometreosis - 16/10/2025

A young Trim mother who suffered catastrophic injuries during what was meant to be a routine medical procedure for endometriosis last October has been left with life-changing injuries, and she bravely shared her story with us on LMFM.Sarah's injuries resulted from a procedure she underwent in Northern Ireland through the National Treatment Purchase Fund and she says she has struggled since to get adequate care at home.On 8th October last year, Sarah was supposed to have a routine keyhole procedure for her endometriosis. She was referred to a private hospital in Northern Ireland by the National Treatment Purchase Fund, having been on a waiting list for treatment in Drogheda for some time.Within the first minute of surgery, her aorta was severed, leaving her in cardiac arrest, requiring 15 units of blood, and hours of life-saving emergency surgery from her chest to her stomach.Sarah joined us in-studio on The Agenda this morning to tell us more about this, and we were also joined by Sarah’s husband, Stephen, who has been fighting to get help for Sarah for over a year.
