A mother has been left bedridden after a doctor dismissed her life-threatening neck injury as merely pandemic-induced 'anxiety'.
Maisie Moore, from south west London, spends every day sequestered to her bed in a brace given her severe neck pain, alongside other symptoms that include high blood pressure, a racing heart and intense feelings of nausea.
The 25-year-old, who described feeling utterly 'trapped' at her ongoing predicament, first began experiencing acute discomfort in her neck more than four years ago.
A business owner with no previous medical conditions, she claimed that she first visited West Middlesex Hospital's A&E Department in March 2021 but the pain in her neck was immediately dismissed as simply 'anxiety caused by the pandemic'.
Now, both Ms Moore and her partner Rebecca, 21, have set up a GoFundMe page in a bid to cover the £55,000 cost of surgery in Spain urgently needed to help treat her rare health condition.
