Montel is 19 years old and went to hospital early in 2019 with suspected appendicitis. It turned out it was an infection that doctors treated, but failed to diagnose. He started having symptoms again in July/August and was sent in for a Colonoscopy. The test showed that he had Crohn's Disease. Just a week after the procedure, Montel was struck down again and rushed into Emergency at Cairns Base Hospital. He was operated on again 1 week after his admission due to an infection in his bowel. A perforation was found and part of his bowel, as well as 35cm of his intestine was removed. He was kept in Intensive Care in a coma on life support for close to 48 hours and then reoperated on, to check for further infection. He is now recovering in Intensive Care and will have a stoma bag for the next 3 to 6 months. He will be unable to return to work for the forseeable future and may need to pursue legal action. Any help you can give would be so greatly appreciated.
