Date: 30th September 2003
I am the above named person and I am currently employed
by Peterborough Hospitals NHS Trust
as an Accident and Emergency Doctor. I have the following
qualifications MB ChB.
At 0330 hours on Saturday 30th August 2003 I was on duty
in the Accident and Emergency
Department when I attended to a person who I now know
to be Kenneth TURTON, date of birth 27th
March 1957. The person had the following injuries:-
Several superficial lacerations to the left side of face
with the potential for scarring. No foreign
bodies were identified in these wounds. The wounds were
cleaned and dressed appropriately. The
wounds were consistent with damage from glass shards or
broken glass.
A four centimetre laceration over the left clavicle extending
inferioriy onto the anterior left chest wall.
This wound had extended into the subcutaneous tissues.
Three small fragments of glass

Were retrieved from the wound when it was cleaned and
inspected under local anaesthetic.
The wound was found not to extend beyond the subcutaneous
tissues and no injuries to any
internal structures were evident. The wound was thoroughly
cleaned and the tissues and skin were
closed with sutures. This wound is consistent with damage
from a glass shard or incision with
broken glass and is likely to have a permanent scar.
No other injuries were evident.
To a lay person this means that the injured person had
the following injuries:
Several cuts to the left side of his face. A four centimetre
cut over his left collarbone reaching in a
downwards direction on the front of his chest. From this
wound three small pieces of glass were
removed but the wound did not extend beyond the layer
of fat and tissue below the skin.
This wound had to be closed with stitches. |
