Wrong cause of death on death certificate.
Not coded for sepsis grade 4pressure sores heart failure streptococcus group G staphs
No toxoligy report no histapathology report no photos retained no xrays retained, no organs retained,post mortem.
Flawed inquest coroner sent postal verdict blamed arthritis fractured shoulder medical complications thereafter as cause of death.
No pfd report.
Those last 6weeks in hospital never been investigated.
Nearly 8years still no accountability no closure.
My mam wasn't dying but senior consultant let mam rot in bed last 6weeks.
Don't know how some can sleep at night.
There are some fantastic drs and nurse's.
But some bad and those that falsify medical records tampering with witness statement report's withholding medical evidence from coroner cqc ccg they should be held accountable prosecuted sacked.
