flag A Welsh doctor's rare brain fluid leak, misdiagnosed at first, was fixed in surgery, leading her to push for better NHS care.

flag Dr. Bernadette Hart, a Welsh doctor, developed a rare spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak after feeling a "pop" in her head, causing severe pain, vision issues, and cognitive problems. flag Misdiagnosed initially, she waited weeks for specialist care before a small spinal hole was found and repaired in a five-hour London surgery. flag She reported dramatic improvement within 10 days, likening the relief to removing a heavy rucksack. flag Now a trustee of the CSF Leak Association, she advocates for better NHS training, faster MRI access, and simpler referrals, urging earlier diagnosis to enable full recovery.
