The story of Kristel Peters

Obstetrician Kristel Peters experienced a medical error that drastically changed her life.

What happened to Kristel Peters?

After a deformity, Kristel underwent a corrective tendon surgery that resulted in a misalignment of her right ankle. This was an error during the operation that led to unforeseen complications.

Impact of the injury

The misalignment caused severe pain, instability, and loss of strength in her right foot. Due to overcompensation, she developed wear and tear in other joints. Kristel struggled to walk and was limited to wearing only a few types of shoes. Standing for long periods or walking on uneven surfaces like grass or sand became nearly impossible, making it difficult to attend events like weddings, concerts, or festivals. Running was completely out of the question.

What did Kristel require?

Kristel needed acknowledgment and acceptance of the fact that her situation would not improve. Practically, she required insoles, physiotherapy, orthopedic shoes, and pain medication to support her mobility.
