Coroner critical of Tameside hospital over care of heart attack victim

February 9, 2012

Acoroner has criticised the level of care given to a man who died at Tameside Hospital. David Lisle, 40, was admitted three times within nine days and discharged twice. He was first diagnosed with indigestion, then a chest infection and died two days after he was admitted for the third time. Coroner John Pollard ruled Mr Lisle received ‘sub-optimal care’ on a number of occasions and that a ‘significant delay’ in treating him with drugs to dissolve blood clots could have contributed towards his death.

Mr Pollard recorded a verdict of death by natural causes as he did not think the evidence of hospital care amounted to neglect. Mr Lisle’s family believe he would be alive today if it wasn’t for the errors. Mr Lisle, a former taxi company boss of Marler Road, Hyde, died after blood clots led to a heart attack. His sister Deborah Butterworth said: “David was let down badly on every occasion he presented himself to the medical profession. It led to the disturbing catalogue of errors which should not have happened from qualified and experienced doctors. No one should die in the manner David passed away.” Mr Lisle first went to hospital on July 17, 2008, with breathing difficulties. His chest was X-rayed and he was sent home with a prescription for indigestion.

Four days later he returned with similar symptoms. He had a blood test and another X-ray but a junior doctor diagnosed a chest infection and discharged him with antibiotics. Expert consultant Dr June Edhouse told the inquest that he should never have been sent home. Mr Lisle was taken back to the hospital on July 26. Tests showed deep vein thrombosis and he was treated with anti-clotting drug Warfarin. He suffered a heart attack and three hours later more clot-busting drugs were administered. He died on July 28. Dr Edhouse said these ‘thrombolytic’ drugs should have been administered as soon as he collapsed.

It also took eight days for the report of chest X-rays to be sent to A&E, against a national standard of 48 hours. Mr Pollard said: “The evidence does not amount to neglect as defined in coronial law, none the less there was clear evidence of sub-optimal care on a number of occasions. “There was a significant delay in the provision of thrombolytic therapy, which may have contributed to his demise.” Dr Tariq Mahmood, from Tameside Hospital Trust, saidlater: “We acknowledge there were problems with elements of Mr Lisle’s diagnosis and clinical management and we once again extend our sincere apologies. “The diagnosis and treatment followed careful consideration of the history provided by the patient and thorough examination by medical staff.”
