On the persecution & scapegoating of a junior doctor for the tragic death of a child from sepsis.
#BawaGarba made mistakes - but her unit was understaffed, chaotic, lethal bedlam. She was hung out to dry.https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bh32lj …

Replying to @bobparker @doctor_oxford
The Mum who allegedly gave the enalapril when the child was shocked and then did her best to ruin the life of a junior doctor?

That makes it nurses fault. As that nurse I would not say yes to anything unless on chart and signed for. Another SHO would not know the patient and could not say if the medication should be given without seeing him and reviewing notes.

Sorry, but the debate has moved so far past this point. 1. That was the informal drug policy in the hospital 2. The incomplete drug chart was just 1 of her 21 errors. Together they were deemed 'truly, exceptionally bad' for conviction, not in isolation.

If there was a policy of giving medication not on chart. Then that is an accident waiting to happen.

This cannot be blamed on the dr it is a culture within the hospital and probably shows how frequently Dr's are working covering so many patients and find it difficult to finish jobs.

Appreciated Karen, but an incomplete drug chart was 1 of her 21 errors. We don't know what they all were, because the court transcripts haven't been made public as yet, (despite multiple requests). That's a big part of the problem - partial information is leading to speculation.

Mistakes and errors often happen because of unsafe policies 1 - she was not given back to work day having returned from maturity leave. 2 - no reg it consultant working with her. 3- covering more than one dr (4 I understand) caring for very sick children in 6 wards on 4 floors

Agreed - every one a valid discussion point. But there's so much more to this case & GNM issue. If you can endure reading my 7pg reply to an open letter I received, I tried to share my overall thoughts in one place. Only if you have time & feel so inclinedhttps://twitter.com/C7RKY/status/1029303542685814789 …
