A mother bled to death following a “systems failure” in her care, an inquest heard yesterday.
The UL Hospitals Group apologised to the family of Susan Doherty, 47, who died in University Hospital Limerick, July 4, 2020, eight days after she presented there with a low white blood cell count, sore throat and high temperature.
Doctors requested an “urgent” scan after she complained of severe pain in her chest, but this was not followed up on, and she died after suffering a massive bleed to her spleen.
