A woman who broke her neck by diving into a swimming pool at a swingers club is trying to sue the NHS for £10million after she claims paramedics made her injuries worse.
She suffered a permanent spinal cord injury and spent more than six months in hospital after diving while drunk into the shallow end of a swimming pool inside Blackpool swingers club Infusion in August 2021.
Staff saw her floating in the water and carefully got her out while her partner called 999, according to documents filed at the High Court.
She claims the paramedics caused further damage that paralysed her when they took her out in a wheelchair without supporting her head and at one point dropped her on the floor.
The woman will never walk again nor can she work or live independently, documents say.
