Scots dad dies two weeks after hip replacement as investigation launched into NHS care
John Ian Young, who was on a five-year waiting list for the procedure before going under the knife at Hairmyres Hospital on June 5, died just weeks later. An investigation has been launched after a dad died just two weeks after a long-awaited hip replacement. John Ian Young, 59, was on a five-year waiting list for the procedure before going under the knife at Hairmyres Hospital on June 5. As reported by Glasgow Live, the surgery was successful and the dad-of-two stayed at the hospital for eight days. During this time he was administered six Clexane injections, which stop unwanted blood clots from forming or growing bigger. John was then discharged and continued an 11-day course of the medication at home - however, just four days after being discharged, his urine was "thick, lumpy and bright red" and he collapsed at home. John's breathing was "weak" and he was tachycardic, with his heart rate exceeding the normal resting rate, and his daughter Candice Coleman, 33, immediately called for an ambulance. On arrival, Candice was told by doctors her dad "had a pulmonary embolism and potentially other blood clots throughout his body' but 'they weren't sure where they were'. She said: "Something was seriously wrong. They didn't understand why he had blood clots because the whole point of the clexane injections was to prevent that. They gave him a heparin drip which was pumped into his body for six and a half hours." John was told he had contracted heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis; a life-threatening condition where the body forms antibodies leading to an increased risk of dangerous blood clots. Candice believes the Clexane injections given at University Hospital Hairmyres, together with the heparin drip given to her dad at University Hospital Wishaw, led to the decline in his health and, ultimately, his death. She also says he was discharged following the hip replacement "too soon" despite the family raising concerns over his "jaundiced and clammy skin" with doctors at the time. Candice said: "The specialist at Wishaw said that he should have had a screening carried out before the heparin drip, but that wasn't carried out. The A&E nurses weren't aware of this condition. "They said they didn't have a plan because they didn't know what they were dealing with, so they would make him as comfortable as possible and hope that he starts to fight it off naturally. But it was a fast moving condition which ended his life." John, who grew up in Glasgow's east end before moving to Holytown, in North Lanarkshire, died on June 21. The exact cause of death has been given as multi-organ failure, bilateral lower limb ischaemia, bilateral pulmonary emboli, left renal infarct and aortic occlusion; heparin induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis, elective total hip replacement, rheumatoid arthritis and cardiomyopathy. The family have been left heartbroken and they are urging the NHS to learn from the incident so no other family goes through it again. Devastated daughter Candice added: 'It's an overall health board issue. There isn't a single hospital to blame - the training of this condition isn't up to standard where people know how to deal with it." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

In response to a request for comment, Russell Coulthard, director of acute services, said: "Although we are unable to comment on the details of this individual case just now, our thoughts and sympathies are with the family at this tragic time. NHS Lanarkshire will undertake a review of this patient's death and our senior clinicians have already had extensive conversations with the family. We will continue to liaise directly with the family." A spokesperson for the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service said: "The Procurator Fiscal has received a report on the death of a 59-year-old man in East Kilbride on June 21 2025. An investigation into the death is ongoing and significant developments will be shared with the family of John Young throughout the investigation."

Hospital Dog Retires Due to Illness, Gets Adopted—Still Thinks He's at Work
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In a viral TikTok video, a retired hospital service dog still behaves like he is on duty, and internet users can't cope with the heartwarming footage. The emotional clip, shared in June under the username @goodboybudster, shows the 4-and-a-half-year-old golden retriever, Buddy, doing things like monitoring his mom while exercising, and all other things he used to do as a working dog. This is despite him having retired due to health complications. "Things my retired hospital service dog does that just make sense. Monitors my workout. Only speaks in full sentences. Must hold hands at all times," the poster says in the clip. "Once a pawfessional, always a pawfessional," she adds in the caption. His owner, 32-year-old Candice, from Boston, Massachusetts, told Newsweek that Buddy was born and bred for service at Canine Assistants in Georgia, and began his training as a service dog at 8 weeks of age. A screenshot of the viral video shows Buddy lying on the bed, posing for a picture. A screenshot of the viral video shows Buddy lying on the bed, posing for a picture. @goodboybudster Candice said: "He was matched with our hospital at about 1 and a half to begin working as a community service dog, or Facility Dog. "A Facility Dog differs from a Therapy Dog as Hospital Facility Dogs are born, bred, and trained for service work, assisting patients to meet care goals through animal-assisted intervention and therapy. "Buddy began work in May 2022 as a Hospital Facility Dog. He worked 40 hours a week alongside myself and my co-handler. He was part of our hospital's Child Life team," she said. The poster added that the role of a child life specialist is to lessen the traumatic impact of hospitalization on children and their families through developmentally appropriate preparation, support, and play. "Buddy became a very special and unique tool in our tool-belt," Candice said, before explaining how a degenerative disease put an end to his hospital career. "In summer 2024, Buddy began exhibiting troubling symptoms. After many tests, images, and interventions, Buddy was diagnosed with Lower Motor Neuron disease. In his case, his LMN disease is degenerative in nature. Buddy began many different treatment regimens, both medication- and rehabilitation-based. The medications have left him immunocompromised. "In April of 2025, Buddy retired at age 4 as he was unable to continue working, both due to medications, as well as symptoms and energy. Buddy is the silliest, goofiest boy with a love for the beach, bananas and peanut butter, and his family." Buddy's prognosis is unknown, according to his owner, who says she is still unsure about the speed at which the disease will spread. However, despite his illness, he is still on a mission to spread smiles. "To know Buddy, even a brief hello, is to immediately feel unconditional love. In retirement, I hope to provide Buddy with as much love and happiness as he has given to so many patients and families," Candice added. Service dogs are very skilled canines that undergo extensive training to do their job, says Pet MD. The most-popular service dog breeds include Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, German shepherds, poodles, Border collies, and Australian shepherds. There are all sorts of different service dogs, each with a different specific training. Some are trained to help with allergies; some are guide dogs; and others may help with autism, hearing, mobility, psychiatric service, medical alerts, or therapy. The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 206,400 views and more than 32,700 likes on the platform. One user, Chris L, commented: "I had a retired seeing eye dog and I'd try to walk into stuff on walks to see if he'd help me, but he didn't. For him the leash was for fun, and the harness for work." Brit posted: "What a sweet gentleman. Please show us more!!!" Auden added: "My service dog always wants to hold my hand too."

Influencer Candice Miller Returns to Instagram Nearly 1 Year After Husband's Death Amid $33M Debt
Candice Miller returned to social media with a poignant message nearly one year after the death of her husband, Brandon Miller. 'In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer,' Candice wrote via Instagram. 'And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger – something better, pushing right back.'

Revealed: How Leroy Sane's wife, Candice, could be key to Bayern Munich star's future as his agent 'holds talks with THREE Premier League clubs'
Leroy Sane has moved to London with his Bayern Munich contract set to expire this summer, putting clubs in the English capital on red alert over a possible move. Sane, 29, who relocated to be with his wife, Candice, has reportedly had his agent Pini Zahavi speak to Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham over a potential Premier League switch. German publication BILD claims that Zahavi is travelling to Munich this week for negotiations over the winger's future. Bayern are said to be insistent on not wanting to increase their current offering to Sane, which is made up of a fixed salary of €10million (£8.3million), plus a variable bonus of €5.5million (£4.6million). However, key figures within the club, including sporting director Max Eberl, are said to be willing to pay that sum in order to keep him on their books. As a result, Bayern are thought to be considering increasing his fixed salary up to €13 million (£10.9million) and reducing the bonuses accordingly. While Premier League sides are reportedly keen on landing Sane, Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray have also tabled an offer worth €10million per year to Sane. The German winger will have to make a decision over a potential new destination quickly, with Bayern wanting his future resolved prior to Bayern the club's departure for the Club World Cup on June 10. Sane was an integral part of Manchester City's 'Centurions' team in 2017-18 before he helped the club to win a domestic treble - including a second successive Premier League title - the following campaign. However, he endured a fraught end to his time in Manchester after suffering a torn ACL before joining Bayern in the summer of 2020. He has found form once again in Bavaria this season, scoring ten goals to help Bayern regain the Bundesliga title.
