4. 4. advice sought via most junior doctor

   “On each occasion that the medical team consulted with renal or urological physicians in seeking advice how to manage their patient, the consultation was conducted through the most junior doctor on the ward (FY1)”

5. 5. urologist not consulted despite suspected malignancy

   “A urologist was not asked to review Mr. [name redacted] in circumstances where a malignancy was suspected and he was suffering from weight loss and haematuria both of which are recognised symptoms associated with bladder cancer”

6. 6. patient discharged despite pending OGD

   “The evidence has shown (although it does not relate to the death) that Mr. [name redacted] was discharged from the hospital even though he was scheduled to have an OGD at the hospital on the date of discharge, which it appears that the physicians were unaware of”
