Nil by mouth patient 'choked to death after being fed food by Paisley hospital worker'

A cancer patient choked to death after being fed food at a Paisley hospital, it's claimed.

The dying man was in his final days with a 'nil by mouth' instruction when it is understood he was fed lunch by a member of staff. Medics battled in vain to save him, but sadly he was pronounced death on July 22, the Daily Record reports.

An NHS whistleblower has spoken out in the wake of the tragedy, believed to have happened on the acute medical ward at the Royal Alexandra Hospital (RAH), where the man was receiving palliative care.
