In August of last year, the 73-year-old started experiencing agonising pain which prevented him from sleeping.
Unbeknown to himself, James had contracted a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) which, he unwittingly left unattended for a month.
Neither recognising the symptoms or knowing the gravity of an unattended UTI, James gradually began to feel the excruciating pain associated with an UTI during the all-too-frequent rushes to the bathroom throughout the day and night. After becoming severely sleep deprived he presented at his local clinic in Falcarragh, where his astute doctor immediately called an ambulance to take him post haste to Letterkenny University Hospital’s emergency department.
