News title:
Staying at home (click here to read)

Article summary:
Like most patients, William Hutcheson does not like being in hospital. But after a fall he was left a paraplegic and confined to a wheelchair, which makes him more susceptible to bouts of infected pressure sores. To treat such a problem, most patients would face long stints in hospital so they can get intravenous antibiotics. But the 62-year-old has received the therapy at home thanks to an innovative project run by St Mary's Hospital in London.
