.@KenZeroHarm @C7RKY 5 1/2 hours for lab to get blood results back - clearly Dr #BawaGarba should also have gone to The Lab and processed the samples as well. Critics think she should have done everything else ...pic.twitter.com/bEVQ4W4Mjw

The chronology of the report is so poor, I keep trying to work out... did she ever actually have anything other than abnormal blood results in her possession? Should her assumption not be that there's still a problem whilst she's awaiting new results that show otherwise if so?
But in the interim Jack appeared to be improving ... by the time she saw results they were historic ‘how it had been’ & she had been back had reviewed the CXR, had prescribed the antibiotic ...
Venous blood gases ( vbg )are run through machines based in A&E, ITU etc, results available immediately. U&E’s etc go to the lab, they were delayed and weren’t repeated. 2nd vbg insufficient sample, didn’t show lactate.
Thank you, that helps. So delayed results and insufficient samples aside, what results did she actually have to work with?? Anything that *wasn't* abnormal that you can see?
The initial results ( vbg ) were grossly abnormal. The kidney function etc was abnormal as well but we don’t know exactly what they were. It was the vbg and presenting symptoms that were really concerning.
The numbers are in the SUI - the bloods were 4h late coming back and the SUI states #BawaGarba phoned more than once to get them but was sent pillar to post. The SUI states changes in Lab Process were urgently needed. The situation was dangerous not #BawaGarba @DrUmeshPrabhu
Surely there are 2 issues here though? Certainly there was a problem with getting results but there is also the problem of interpretation of the results that were available and recognition of a very poorly patient.
