Multiple failings here. I can’t even fathom what was going on in the hospital that day.
Well that’s horrible, poor lady and poor family.
The added “wtf” of the junior doctor coming in and asking if the deceased lady “always looks like that” is like something out of a skit.
Total clusterfuck. If this were my local hospital, I’d weigh my options up Vs a longer car ride to the next closest one, tbh.
While Paula and John insist they are not embarking on a “witch hunt” against any individual employee, they have raised concerns about staffing within the hospital.
Paul said: “A&E departments are very chaotic to the point mistakes are being made and people are dying”.
Yep, they’re spot on. Tragic.
