Dr Julia Praag says she recognises ME is a physical illness

“She didn’t want to exist like that/there’s no cure” etc these medics keep rolling out Maeve wanted nutrition in March, April, May, June, July, August and early September. She wanted to live. They didn’t get it together to provide TPN until the end of September by which time she’d spent 6...

Dr Strain replying to tweets - I actually think it’s “bad form” for him to be discussing Maeve on twitter whilst the inquest is ongoing. I get that he wants to protect his own reputation, and ppl are @ing him but he’s crossed a line for me by saying she wanted this or that.

Questioning finished, Dr Patel release and break for lunch

Sean O’Neill is now questioning Dr Patel He asks about artificial feeding policies - Coroner interrupts to say they will be spending a whole day looking at this Just to note, it’s clear from X twitter posts that Dr Patel is giving the “stock” answer we’ve heard from all the Drs that we don’t...

Dr Patel giving evidence Maeve had a SALT assessment Was given Fludrocortisone at some point there’s a record that this stopped? Sarah Boothby is now asking questions - she finishes by thanking Dr Patel and says they were a very good consultant. Now there’s a break with thanks to ME...

I don’t expect a Coroner to do anything especially “explosive” at least, unless they’re known as an outspoken one. I strongly suspect this Coroner is on the ball, it’s seems both Maeve and Dr Shelton have captured plenty of evidence at the time. I also hope Sarah Boothby, as the main carer, is...

Amazing @Nightsong so much detail you’ve captured, have a good rest.

Yeah, I feel like if A&E paged Dr Roy that someone had their neck crushed and hadn’t eaten for a while so he needs nutrition, Dr Roy would be like “well it’s urgent for you, not for me. Let’s talk again next week….”

I understand that SALT would also look at swallowing, for me it’s the lack of urgency. You have a GP saying she’s not eating, losing weight, very unwell needs nutrition, possibly via tube and Dr Roy is like “hang on, I think we need to go through a number of steps first, like spend a few weeks...

From the Telegraph. Dr Roy comments I’ve not seen anywhere else today https://archive.ph/2024.07.25-172315/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/07/25/doctors-treating-me-patient-nutritionist-no-expertise/ 22 September Dr Roy discussed with DrShenton “it’s unclear how much feeding problems are...

BIB Dr Roy wanted Maeve to have a SALT assessment? Speech And Language Therapy?

So they wouldn’t give TPN because the environment [home?] wasn’t sterile and she would have certainly got line sepsis and died?

Just to add as a previously involved with legal process and lawyers etc. People may feel the lawyer was “disrespectful” towards DrWeir, however Dr Weir was more than prepared and in fact it gave him a chance to say a lot, rebutt a lot and really shine. The more questions, the better. The more...

I’m sorry, what is IF meaning here please?

Some reporting of Dr Roy’s evidence by a local paper https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/uk-news/2024/07/25/doctors-did-very-best-for-young-woman-suffering-with-me-inquest-hears/

Sarah Boothby questions Dr Warren on the skill set of staff on Lomond ward vs Bolham ward, he says there’s no difference. Bolham is neurology and Lomond is ?endocine? Dr Warren said he didn’t feel there could be a contingency plan Sarah asks why it was easy for Lomond ward to remove tube and...

Dr Roy outlines all the options in the opening statement, although there wasn’t much mention after that. Dr Roy said NJ? Required sedation so it was risky. He was also extremely focussed on there needing to be a fully sterile environment for TPN, and the infection control/nursing burden. PEG/J...

Some tweets on Sarah Boothby’s questions to Dr Warren. Sarah asked if he knew that in pwME “building tolerance” makes them more symptomatic? He says they needed to maintain working gut. He says he made decisions “on the hoof” on her 3rd admission, it was a Saturday which is more difficult…

Drs Patel and Praag giving evidence tomorrow. Inquest is non-sitting day on Monday.
