Mum gets sympathy card from GP saying daughter died when she didn't

A traumatised mum received a sympathy card from her GP saying her daughter was dead after a visit to A&E - when she wasn't.

Ella, 18, from Toxteth, went to Royal Liverpool Hospital 's A&E on Thursday, March 3, after suffering from 'unbearable' stomach pain and severe nausea. After visiting A&E and having multiple tests, the doctors sent her home and instructed her to come back if the pain got worse.

Around one week later on Tuesday, March 8, Ella's mum, Deena, received a 'Sorry for your loss' card in the post from the family GP, Elms Medical Centre, saying they were sorry for her daughter's death. The card read: "Family of Ella, The GP's offer their condolences at this time. If you would like to speak to a GP or be referred to counselling service please ring reception. The Elms Medical Centre."
