“The Whipps Cross medical notes record normal observations, most specifically that Mrs [name redacted] was”

“When Mrs [name redacted]' treating consultant gynaecological surgeon attended her at 10.30am on Saturday, 23 July, he formed the impression that he was the first person to diagnose the stroke”

“The decision was made by, at the latest 10.30am, but quite possibly an hour before then, to transfer Mrs [name redacted] to the Royal London Hospital for specialist care, but transfer was not effected until 2.07pm”

“Patient controlled administration of pain relief was arranged for Mrs [name redacted], but she remained in pain. It was quite some time before it was recognised that the device was not connected and so was not delivering any analgesia”

“Mrs [name redacted]' surgeon went to the Royal London Hospital to see her at 10.30pm on Saturday, 23 July. He described in court palpating her abdomen and there being no rigidity, guarding, or further distension. However, he made no record in the medical notes of his attendance and examination”

“The same surgeon described in court his view that [static] imaging did not disclose any active bleeding and so there was no indication to return to theatre”
