'My healthy husband went to the doctor with stomach pains... a month later he was dead'
A grieving widow has spoken of his heartbreak after his husband died just over a month after visiting his doctor with stomach pain.
Mr Dunn, who is originally from the US but had lived in Bury for nine years with Ian, said he had been left completely lost without his husband, who had been 'healthy' up until April this year. "I was frantically calling, emailing and even tweeting in the hope that someone would help but it just felt like everyone I spoke to was continuously passing the buck."
"I kept pushing that he needed to be seen sooner. In the interim North Manchester also booked an ultrasound for May 30 but we both knew this was too long." "They referred him to critical care at Salford Royal Hospital where they said he had a kidney blockage - which we already knew," he said. "We were very close," Mr Dunn said. "I don't have much of a support network here so it's been very tough without him. He was only 59 and such a healthy and robust man."
