An elderly man who suffered at the hands of nurse serial killer Benjamin Geen has spoken out about his ordeal.

The man was taken to Horton Hospital in Banbury, Oxfordshire suffering from stomach pains. He was treated by Nurse Geen, and stopped breathing and suffered heart failure after being injected with a dangerous dose of insulin by Geen.

The man went into a coma and his heart and lungs suffered permanent damage.

He now suffers from fluid in his heart and lungs and has trouble walking.

Shortly after admission doctors diagnosed the man - who already suffered from obstructive pulmonary disorder and emphysema - with a gall bladder infection.

The man was sweating heavily and was drifting in and out of consciousness. The emergency resuscitation team was called when his breathing and heart stopped.

Tests showed that his blood-sugar levels had dropped, which suggested that he had been given insulin. He was given an injection of glucose and had to resuscitated.

For a year following the incident the man suffered severe pain. He now suffers from breathlessness.

Alexander Harris acted for a number of families of victims of nurse serial killer Beverley Allitt representing families at the Allitt Inquiry.
