Parents' fury as teenage daughter dies just days after doctors sent her home and 'told her to take paracetamol'
Coming soon to your neighborhood...
Were this my child the life expectancy of the doctors who did this would be measured in hours.
Hey, another win for socialized medicine. Its a wonder they wasted all that treatment on her, they could have just as easily killed right off and saved a fortune. Sick people suck (I believe Mr. Skittles said that). Blue pill or red pill?
That’s outrageous that they sent her home. I was septic after my appendix ruptured many years ago and was sent home, too, because I was misdiagnosed. I then was rushed back to the hopsital two days later and finally got a correct diagnosis. I credit God, my surgeon and the good healthcare in this country for allowing me to survive it. Prayers to the kid’s family.
Oh yeah, The tomato brains here want to pattern our health care after these tomato brains. Sounds about right.
Well, she did save someone money by just taking a pill and dying.
That’s what it’s all about.
Got to keep that money saved to further the cause.
What is the problem here? This girl’s end-of-life care was managed very efficiently, and cost the NIH only a few hundred dollars. There is no way the US health-care system could have dealt with this case for even ten times that price.
She was clogging up a bed and costing them money. They wanted her out of the hospital.
Medical decisions take the backseat to budget decisions.
Welcome to Obamacare.
I had to look up some of the terminology. “Glandular fever” is what Brits call “mononucleosis.” The article said she had that, plus pneumonia; yet they sent her home.
Septicemia is when a baterial infection in one locale in the body gets into the bloodstream and starts to overwhelm the entire body, resulting in a very rapid decline and death. Some of the symptoms are a failure to produce urine and red blotches on the skin.
Shrug. What are ya gonna do? Mistakes will happen.

“I’m in love with the British health care system.”
FYI - paracetamol = acetaminophen = Tylenol
bttt
the girl died.
the socialized medical system worked EXACTLY as designed.
This is what Obama and his medical rationing czar are bringing to America.
well - it was free, and they did give her pills.
