Did they die in hour 1 and weren’t noticed till 24 hours later, or did they die in hour 24 after 23 hours of agony in a corridor?
Not sure which is worse…
> **The Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital**
Well hopefully a lesson was learnt that day…
Ever since hospital bosses and MPs were all too happy in the name of funding to close the nearby Burnley A&E, everyone has suffered. Blackburn has been stuck with providing A&E for a huge catchment area, far exceeding what it was originally designed and has the safe resources for.
Blackburn A&E is genuinely amongst the most horrific places in the UK to work, it’s absolutely catastrophically rammed. There’s no space, people are properly sick and corridor care is so normalised.
Some of the A&E consultants have had heart attacks in their 30s, the turnover of staff is high from sheer burnout and of course the patients suffer.
Sad all around.
To be honest I’m surprised that doesn’t happen so often as to not be newsworthy – A&E is a gathering of the people in the country most likely to die soon, and the NHS is severely underfunded and understaffed.
It sounds like the only real error here was failing to review the X-Ray results for 12 hours, meaning the previously unknown duodenal ulcer perforation could have been spotted earlier, which may have reduced (but probably not eliminated) the chance of death. And we don’t know what the other emergencies that prevented checking the results were.
