Vanessa was discharged with a muscular chest injury just over an hour later. Vanessa questioned the result and was told there was something wrong with her heart.” “A junior doctor carried out an ECG at about 1.35am and marked it abnormal/ myocardial ischaemia. “A rumour started that she had had a little jolt after being spooked by a goose and the plan was analgesia.”Ī serious incident report revealed that blood tests were requested but later cancelled, according to Vanessa’s father.
“The hospital trust said she was left while the morphine worked. “She was prescribed morphine and abandoned for two and a half hours,” her father said. Vanessa’s father said the ambulance crew failed to take her blood pressure and his daughter’s reports of her symptoms, including pain and tenderness in her chest, headache and a painful shoulder, as well as being unable to move her neck and pain on swallowing, did not prompt the correct responses at the Hull A&E department. His own investigations into the events leading up to his daughter’s death have shown that although a priority one emergency ambulance was dispatched, it took 19 minutes from the time of her call to arrive at her home because the service was “busy”. Her father told Hull Live: “I need Vanessa’s friends to know what happened to her although I don’t know the truth myself.”
