UK - Nurse Lucy Letby Faces 22 Charges - 7 Murder/15 Attempted Murder of Babies #14

[Imogenia]

I read about Elvis Presley's twin brother, who was stillborn. It had a big effect on the whole family, and Elvis often talked about how he missed his brother.

Losing a baby would be something the whole family would mourn forever.

The surviving child, especially if an only child, could be very affected both by the loss, and the way in which the mourning happens.

The medic said following Child P's death, there was a debrief on the unit. He said it was a chance for staff who work on resuscitation to 'make sure' that there was nothing missed. He said: 'We felt we had carried out resus well and in accordance with all appropriate guidelines'

The evidence about LL offering the parents a memory box 'like it's a bounty pack' is utterly chilling and completely devastating. I feel angry and quite emotional reading it. A very powerful moment for the prosecution IMO.

It sounds like something a 3-year-old might do.

Do we know exactly when it is alleged that LL did the embolus?

You're completely correct, this is highly unusual. The total desperation must have had quite an impact. I wonder how aware these staff were of the problems at CoC?

We have a transport team and if they go out for one baby, they can't take another baby when they get there, even if there is another baby that needs transport! (Say, for instance, the baby's sibling.) We have to send a second team! And that's if the second baby has an indicated need for transfer. Is it the same in the UK? All said, it seems almost unheard of that the transport team would have taken the last, still healthy, triplet.

I think that will come with the experts evidence. Forecast to be happening today.

It's such an unusual situation that it's hard to say. But things were so shocking and tragic at this point, I don't see how they could really say no. I'm not sure where a 2nd team would come into it?

Something strange, unusual, and potentially deadly maybe made this doctor act according to conscience and not protocol.

By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something evil this way comes

As Shakespeare spoke of intuition occasionally being more certain than available facts.

Typical American inefficiency, lol.

Ben Myers KC has just invited Dr Rackham to give his view on adrenaline charts for Child P from that day. They show he received 16 bolus injections of adrenaline over the course of the day and was also given a slow infusion of the drug

From the numbers on the slow infusion chart, Mr Myers says this is 'significantly' higher than the dose that would be ideal - the doctor, with some caution, agrees
