A verdict of medical misadventure has been returned into the death of a woman from a life-threatening condition which was not picked up by medical staff at a Dublin hospital.
Deborah Duffy, 50, a married mother of two from Delmere, Enfield, Co Meath, died at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown on February 4, 2018 from a severe loss of blood due to an aortic dissection – a condition where there is a tear in the body’s main artery.
The former childminder died less than 24 hours after being brought to the hospital by ambulance after complaining of severe chest pains.
