Overview

• Wright’s April 2023 back pain during a family trip was initially blamed on gym strain and kidney stones, delaying vital imaging for two days
• When a CT scan was finally performed, doctors found an extensive clot from her calves to lower back—the largest they had ever seen
• By April 2024 her iliac veins were too diseased for stenting, and she remains unable to bear weight on her right leg
• Consultants say amputation would not improve her condition because the clot extends into her back, yet she endures unrelenting pain
• Wright has abandoned her jobs and master’s studies and is campaigning for blood clot awareness after Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham did not respond to requests for comment
