\n New mum Jordan Peachey, 35, found herself in a critical condition and feeling deeply let down by her local healthcare provider.\n<\/p>\n
\n Just weeks after giving birth, she was in severe pain and could barely walk \u2014 her instincts told her something was seriously wrong.\n<\/p>\n
\n Having previously suffered from a blood clot, Mrs Peachey recognised the signs. But despite attending multiple appointments with different doctors, she was repeatedly sent home with medication that did little to ease her symptoms.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI had a two-week-old baby and could barely walk. I kept telling them something wasn\u2019t right, but no one listened,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n
\n A friend recommended Dr Salim Shafeek, Consultant Haematologist at Droitwich Spa Hospital, part of Circle Health Group who took ‘immediate action’.\n<\/p>\n
\n After reviewing a photo of her leg, he quickly identified the severity of the situation \u2014 a large blood clot stretching from just above her belly button to her ankle.\n<\/p>\n
\n While it was too late for surgery, he urgently changed her medication and arranged a hospital appointment to begin treatment and manage her care.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cHis intervention honestly saved my life,\u201d Mrs Peachey said. \u201cAt that point, I could barely make it to the toilet, let alone leave the house.\n<\/p>\n
\n “His fast response, and the compassionate care I received at Droitwich Spa Hospital, made all the difference during a terrifying time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Now receiving regular therapy, Mrs Peachey of Alcester, Warickshire, is well on the road to recovery. Her mobility has improved dramatically, and she is walking again.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cFinding Dr Shafeek felt like a lifeline. I\u2019ll always be grateful \u2014 not just for his medical expertise, but for the kindness, urgency, and care shown by him and the whole team at Droitwich Spa Hospital.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Dr Shafeek said: \u201cI was shocked by the condition she was left in and how delayed her care was. This was a serious and extensive clot that needed urgent attention. Seeing her recover as well is incredibly rewarding. I admire her strength, especially having gone through this so soon after giving birth. I\u2019m glad I could help her get back to normal life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New mum Jordan Peachey, 35, found herself in a critical condition and feeling deeply let down by her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255405,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-255404","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthcare","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-healthcare","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
