Meg
Medical Negligence client
Meg began feeling unwell and took the afternoon off work to rest. After having dinner with Xander, she was lying on the bed texting friends when, at just 26 years old, she suddenly went into cardiac arrest.
After paramedics were delayed reaching her and had issues accessing a defibrillator, Meg's life was changed forever.
