A MARTLESHAM teenager at the centre of a long-running compensation battle over brain damage he suffered while undergoing an operation was today awarded more than £3.3million in damages.
Guy's Hospital in London agreed to pay Philip Revett, 19, £3.375million after his family fought to force the hospital to pay for the costs of his future care.
