A nightmare medical negligence blunder was captured on camera when Jamie Merrett,aged 37, who was concerned over the care and attention that he was getting, arranged for a camera to be installed.

The web cam caught the moment on film in when the nurse Violetta Aylward who was untrained in operating the ventilator turned it off. the catastrophic flip off the switch cased Mr Merrett to suffer starvation of oxygen to his brain resulting in severe personal injuries that he’ll never recover from.
