Overview
- Kate Prydderch, from Wrexham, recounted how a post–Ladies Day night out on August 31, 2024, followed hours of pre-drinking that began around 9 a.m.
- In a Chester nightclub she attempted a piggyback, fell backward, and struck her head, resulting in a fractured skull and two brain bleeds.
- She was taken to Wrexham Maelor Hospital and transferred to Royal Stoke University Hospital, where her heart went into supraventricular tachycardia above 200 bpm en route.
- Doctors treated her with anti-seizure and clotting medication with frequent morphine, and she spent two weeks in hospital before physiotherapy and a return to work after eight weeks.
- Now 22, she reports lingering dizzy spells and balance issues, says she has largely stopped drinking, and shares her story as a warning about alcohol-fueled decisions.
