Englishwoman Gemma Lennard in his 26 years gave birth to five children, and was expecting the birth of the sixth. She was for a period of 24 weeks, when her water broke suddenly. Her husband, Robert immediately called an ambulance. Phone operator asked the caller a series of questions, which allowed him to define "green code" - the absence of an immediate threat to human life. As a result, the ambulance arrived only an hour or more.
The patient it did not wait - the husband drove her to the hospital himself. Scans showed that the baby Gemma died in the womb even 24 hours before admission to hospital. Doctors called artificial birth to extract the dead girl from her mother. Exactly a week later the woman died of multiple organ failure caused by liver failure. The reason for this was the paracetamol overdose As established pathologists.
The investigation revealed that took Gemma paracetamol together with other painkillers prescribed by a doctor. "It was not suicide - emphasizes the coroner, John Pollard. - A woman suffered from strong Back Pain . And after the birth of a dead child to physical pain was added the moral. She took many pills not to kill himself, and to facilitate backache ".
Pollard said he did not consider the emergency service at least indirectly guilty in the death of Gemma. But he's going to send a letter to the Minister of Health of Great Britain Andrew Lensli a proposal to change the algorithm of the conversation with the operator of the caller. Patients should be sure to ask what medications they are taking.
