Deal over boy's heart attack
A £2.5 MILLION damages claim over a boy who suffered a heart attack while having teeth extracted has been settled out of court.
Details of the agreement were not disclosed at the Court of Session in Edinburgh, where Anne Marie Gallacher had sued Greater Glasgow Health Board on behalf of her son, Ryan, 14.
In 2002, Ryan had nine teeth removed under general anaesthetic at Townhead dental clinic. His heart stopped and he had to be resuscitated, but the court was told he had suffered significant brain damage. Ms Gallacher alleged negligence by anaesthetist Alexander Colquhoun.
