A father-of-two who had to “beg” to get an MRI scan because of the Covid-19 crisis has died of cancer, his family have revealed.
Sherwin Hall, 27, from Leeds, West Yorkshire, went to hospital on March 23 suffering from leg pain but despite repeated visits he was only given a course of antibiotics for a misdiagnosis of prostatitis.
After “begging for a scan” and 13 hospital visits in four weeks, Mr Hall was finally given an MRI scan on May 26 which revealed a 14cm malignant tumour in his pelvis and 30 small tumours on his lungs.
Before his death, Mr Hall said: “I kept begging them in April and May to give me an MRI scan, but no one would listen.
