Autorenporträt
Adrienne Cullen was an Irish journalist, editor, and author living in the Netherlands. In 2013, she discovered she had cervical cancer, a diagnosis that came two years too late as a result of her test results being mishandled by UMC Utrecht and lying unseen in her patient file for two years. If her results had been acted upon immediately, she would have had a 90% to 95% percent likelihood of a complete cure. Adrienne sued the hospital and was awarded the largest pain-and-suffering damages ever in the Netherlands, though still tiny by international standards. She forced the hospital to issue a personal, written apology, the first ever sent by the CEO of a Dutch hospital. Adrienne died December 31, 2018 in a hospital in Amsterdam.
