For me it is about 7 Doctors from one unit in one Hospital lying and covering each other’s failings. They just feed off each other’s lies. For me it is about them finding out what is at the end of the path they thought why would put our family on. University Hospital Bristol

This study is interesting, published at the end of Jan. Your baby son died from sepsis? (I think?). He looks like a beautiful baby in your shared pictures. Has the recent awareness campaign around sepsis helped? (Thankfully I've no experience re: sepsis) :https://discover.dc.nihr.ac.uk/portal/article/4000917/intravenous-antibiotics-administered-over-3-hours-are-linked-to-lower-death-rates-in-sepsis …

Thank you for asking but there is nothing that has helped Kate. How can anything help when Doctors leave a baby to die and then administer a drug days out of protocol causing him to collapse and then spend 3 years covering up their mess. The truth would be a start.

Honesty helps, I agree. That's what we're all asking for, I think - for acknowledment where there has been none? In my case it's about closure, correct records, future care. For you, might honesty bring you some peace, closure around circumstances of the loss of your baby son?

For me, honesty is far more than just a help here Kate. It's a basic foundation on which the entire doctor/patient relationship is built. Without honesty, there can be no trust. I think that's why people often find the cover up more abhorrent than the error it's designed to hide.

100% agree. Also where are all the other people like me? You’re supported by a multitude bereaved by apparent shortfalls in care. Where are the people like me? Alive, but damaged, w/ poor* care subsequently? *because of past medical oversights + ‘lost’ GP records impeding care.

I've met a fair few along the way. But depending on the nature of the harm, I think many of them have their hands full just getting on with life. Also more likely to find a 'make the best of it' outlook where possible there, which you're unlikely to find after a death.

Also, for me, my trust in UK medical professionals died in 2012, when I was refused access to fair and equitable medical social (NHS) healthcare for symptomatic proximal undiagnosed DVT. Then refused NICE Guidelines care after (Bupa) diagnosis. I feel, felt discriminated against.

If anything, that distrust has grown since 2012: Even after changing GP, new GP failed to tell me, NHS Records, >200 pages of my medical notes remained missing for 18 months, further impacting negatively on me. GP didn't even report to ICO when another patient record given to me.

That's why, when I hear about the tragedy of other peoples' children dying, such as
#BenCondon or#JusticeForOliver death sounds plausible; tragically normal, in that the care that resulted in death, sounds like the usual standard of health care experienced routinely, here in UK.2 replies 1 retweet 2 likes
It's good for the vast majority, but it's only when something goes wrong that you get to find out the true nature of the beast you're dealing with. By which point, it's usually too late, sadly.
