Trainee nurse, 22, dies after bungling medics inserted breathing tube wrongly

A trainee nurse suffered three heart attacks and died after medics failed to correctly insert a breathing tube while she was in hospital with pancreatitis, an inquest heard.

Jodie McCann, 22, was starved of oxygen following "serious" failings in her care at Queen’s Hospital in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire.

The inquest was told that the young mum-of-one had just started training as a nurse when she was admitted to hospital with gallstone pancreatitis on March 16 last year.
