The inquest into Richard Walsh's death revealed critical failures in his medical care following a visit to St Luke's Hospital. Mr. Walsh had presented with abdominal pain but was discharged without the ECG that had been requested in his referral letter. His wife testified to his previously good health, indicating concerns prior to his worsening condition. After returning to the hospital two days later, he was transferred to St James's, where he died later that day. The inquest highlighted the hospital's lack of appropriate medical response leading to this tragedy.
It's clear from the evidence presented that there were significant lapses in the hospital's procedures which directly contributed to Mr Walsh's tragic death.
Despite clinical indications, critical medical tests including an ECG were not performed, which is troubling given Mr Walsh's condition at the time.
