Mrs S travelled to the Grand Bahia Principe in the Dominican Republic in May 2015. As the holiday was for the couple’s wedding anniversary they were particularly upset to have the holiday ruined by illness. Around 3 days into the holiday Mrs S started experiencing severe diarrhoea and nausea.
Shortly after this Mrs S was forced to visit the hotel doctor and was sent to the local hospital. She was given medication and an injection for the symptoms. To add to the problems Mr S also came down with symptoms which meant they were both unwell and couldn’t celebrate their anniversary. On Return to the UK Mrs S had to visit the G.P and was ill for a total of 14 days.
