Aha, I've found a way of reading tweets without being on the writer's twitter page
This morning's Tweets from Dan O'Donoghue BBC (I can't copy the times they were tweeted by this method)
I'm once again at Manchester Crown Court for the trial of Lucy Letby. Jurors are today hearing from a doctor, who can't be named for legal reasons, who worked at the Countess of Chester in 2015
The doctor is currently running through her notes made in June 2015 when she received an emergency call to attend to Child B. They state: 'Baby suddenly stopped breathing. Purple blotching of body all over with slowing of heart rate'
The doctor tells the court that in light of Child B's twin brother dying 24 hours before, advice was sought from various medics across the country on whether Child A and/or Child B had been affected by the mum's antiphospholipid syndrome
Medics at Great Ormond Street Hospital said the condition would not effect the babies and no further investigation was needed. Experts from Alder Hey suggested doing a full blood count. Given Child B's good health when the doctor started her shift tests were held off
Child B took ill that evening and after she was stabilised she was put on antibiotics as a precaution. Subsequent blood observations taken were 'good' and no more tests were ordered
The doctor says she was 'puzzled' by Child B's deterioration. Describing the 'rash' that covered her, she said: 'It was so florid, it came out of nowhere. One and a half hour's later it is completely gone'
The court is now hearing from medical expert Dr Dewi Evans on the death of Child A. Dr Evans was approached by the National Crime Agency in 2017 to assist police in their investigation
Dr Evans said: 'The concern was that there had been a number of deaths in the Countess that had been unusual, there were far more deaths than they would expect. Collapses in babies that were otherwise quite stable, but in many of the cases resuscitation was not successful'
Dr Evans said he found the cases 'quite disturbing and quite unusual' and soon 'a pattern became apparent'
In the last week there's been examination of the 'abnormal' position of a long line (used to deliver fluids) to Child A. Dr Evans is asked if he has seen any evidence to suggest the positioning of this line was a cause of death. 'none at all', he says
Dr Evans says the cause of death with Child A is an air embolism (bubble)..he explains: 'It interferes with the blood supply to the heart and lungs, mechanism is the same as a clot that goes into the lungs'
Independent medical expert Dr Sandie Bohin, who peer reviewed Dr Evans' findings, came to the same conclusion - that Child A died from an air embolism
Dr Evans is now back in the witness box, he's discussing Child B's case. He says the cause of her collapse - like her brother Child A - was an air embolism, 'there was nothing else to explain this collapse, which was so sudden and unexpected', he said
