TRAGIC: Doctor Playing On His Computer Ignores Dying Woman's Cry For 2 Hours

A great-grandmother who died after surgery was left in agony for hours while a nearby doctor 'played on a computer', an inquest heard.

Sarah Ann Gray, 81, from Haughton Green, Tameside, was 'screaming in pain 'and vomiting at Manchester Royal Infirmary because her bowel perforated after an operation, despite a doctor being nearby.
According to reports, Sarah Ann Gray, 81, was 'screaming in pain' and vomiting because her bowel perforated after an operation

 

Her son, Gary, 52, went to ask for pain relief but was told that the doctor in the corridor, who was 'playing on a computer', was 'not on this morning', her inquest was told.
Mr Gray said at the hearing: 'She was screaming in pain, but we couldn't get a doctor for two hours. There was a doctor playing on a computer in the corridor. He was seated right outside the room.'
After two hours of intense pain, Mrs Gray was finally given morphine. She died a few weeks later of complications from the surgery.

Her daughter, Susan Carter, told the inquest at Manchester town hall that she believed her mother 'could be alive' today if not for hospital errors.

Coroner Nigel Meadows, recording a narrative verdict, said that Mrs Gray died from multi-organ failure following complications after bowel surgery, but also noted a number of failures in nursing care.
Mr Meadows said: 'I can see... a number of failures in nursing care. It can't be said they were physically a cause of her death.

'The pathologist is saying the perforation of her bowel led to multi-organ failure.' A 41-page hospital report showed lapses in nursing care in nutrition and hydration, pain management, infection prevention and record-keeping.

The inquest was told that the report showed the hospital had taken the issue seriously. After the inquest, Mrs Gray's son Gary said: 'It's a catalogue of errors and only tells us what we already knew, but maybe the hospital will learn for future families.'
A hospital spokesman said: 'Mrs Gray was given pain relief immediately after her procedure and a doctor was then called to provide a stronger painkiller and attended to Mrs Gray an hour-and-a-half later.
'Another doctor who was present on the ward at the time was from a visiting speciality and not familiar with Mrs Gray.'

Police Extortion: SEE What Commercial Motorcyclist Plan On Doing

Amalgamated Commercial Motorcycle Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria (ACOMORAN) has lambasted the men of the Nigeria Police Force for the continual extortion from its members, even when they do not violate any traffic law or commit any crime.

The Lags-based motorcycle association made the statement during a meeting at the Umuoji Hall, Titus Ufondu Street, Olodi- Apapa area of Lagos State, on Thursday that “the police have turned motorcycle riders into their ATMs”and promised to embark on a protest to attract the sympathy of Nigerians of the police do not desist from extorting money from its members.
The secretary-general of ACOMORAN, Ugochukwu Okolie, said that the association is intending to embark on ‘mother of all protest’ to let the world know that the motorcycle riders are suffering.
Okolie said he is “prepared to die for the cause, because my members and their families are dying of starvation. They cannot feed their wives and children, send the children to school, pay hospital and electricity bills, among others, and still pay the police.”
Okoli pointed out that the Lagos State Government Traffic Law banned motorcycles and tricycles from operating, but policemen are only interested in disturbing motorcycles riders while others are allowed to work freely.
“My members do not want to go into any criminal activity, that is why they decided to use their motorcycles to make a living,” he said.
Okoli warned the police to stop extorting and intimidating members of the association who are plying the lawful routes allowed by laws of the state. He also said he was ready to produce evidence showing that policemen are extorting money unnecessarily from the commercial motorcycle operators.
Okoli also promised that he would lay down his life if that would end the intimidation and harassment usually meted out to his members by the men of the Nigeria Police Force. “The protest will be totally different from what Nigerians are used to, because it will be an everyday show, until the government responds positively to our plight,” he assured.
