Mother's epidural death unlawful

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/w...re/7226836.stm

I know theres so much SADNESS on the news lately but this shocked me so much!

What a precious time snatched

That woman in my eyes from what I have read so far deserves to be sent down for manslaughter. The NHS raised their hand immediately after course of death was confirmed.

Quote:
Our life together was ripped apart by the action of a midwife who failed to check the fluid she gave to my wife.
Quote:
She denied having done so, insisting she thought it was either saline solution or Gelofusine, a blood volume expander to boost blood pressure.
Thought? I mean HELLO! That should have been checked & KNEW what it was not assumed which is how it looks to me!

i agree. more times than not the wrong drug is administered through IVs. I usually make it a habit to ask 'what is that' before doctors stick anything in me.

Seriously shocking news. I gather her husband is pushing for the midwife to be charged with manslaughter now.
