A FILIPINO man is being deported from Britain because his wife, who died following a hospital blunder, is no longer working here.
The Swindon Advertiser reports that when Arnel Cabrera held his newborn baby Zac for the first time he had no idea he would never see his wife alive again.
Mayra Cabrera died died at the Great Western Hospital Swindon in May 2004 after epidural Bupivacaine was wrongly injected intravenously via a cannula in her right hand during childbirth. Mr Cabrera was told immediately afterwards by doctors that she had died from an amniotic fluid embolism.
Google search shows no evidence of pfofessional disciplinary proceedings in the case
Mrs Cabrera had been working as a theatre nurse at the hospital since 2002.
Her husband followed a year later and found a job as an assistant technical officer at the same hospital.
Following his wife's death, Mr Cabrera was informed that, because she
was no longer working, he had to leave the country as soon as her
inquest had oncluded. He is being deported at the end of February.
Zac is now being cared for by Mr Cabrera's mother in the Philippines.
