Going back to mentions of Munchausens, FDI and coercive control. It sounds like Sean O’Neill did a word search on the Devon CountyCouncil notes. One tweeter has said the numbers they heard were 9 times Munchausens by proxy 32 times FDIA [facetious disorder imposed on another aka Munchausens by...

I knew someone kept referring to”Beth does that” thank you.

Finished for today, resume at 10am tomorrow with Beth Thompson (possibly nurse?mentioned last week by poss Dr Warren?) and Dr Fox. I don’t envy @Nightsong taking notes, but thank you so much. The morning was lots of specifics about food, amounts, nutrients, calories, feeding happening/not...

Sean O’Neill questioning C Parker DCC social worker - there are 9 references to Munchausens, FDI more, coercion and control, more, in the DCC paperwork. CP says not aware of that.

Christine Parker, a Social Worker from DCC is next to give evidence. Mainly focussed on the period Jan-April 21.

Re: Maeve’s 3 rd admission, no weight recorded. Coroner asks why food records are incomplete. Tori Richard’s says it’s another nurses role to update.

Tori Richard’s, was Clinical Matron for Gastro now giving evidence. Talking about Lowmon ward (the eating disorder ward) Maeve was sent there as she’d been there before, that was the Bed Mgmt decision, not hers.

The Trust Representative asked this question of Dr Blackburn - views on the risks and benefits of PEG should have been explored? At the time, no. With hindsight, might think differently.

Lots of detail today, it feels to me like more of a timeline is appearing and we’re getting the gaps filled in, frustratingly it is still a case of Drs seeming to say “well that’s a worry” scratching their head and walking off.

Looks like there’s a lot of detail being given in evidence about feeding, and the community dietetics team. Not up to going through it today, so just bringing one important update. Coroner says she’ll give interim decision on Friday week, 9 Aug 24

Surely if you don’t use your muscles, they become *deconditioned and all you need to do is GET with CBT and they’re back to normal? edit-spelling

There are obviously solutions to these so-called problems the Drs encountered. For me, the worst part is I’ve formed an opinion that Maeve probably would have wanted to be weighed. I’m sure she would have endured the problems it would have caused her. She endured the “sit up a bit longer each...

Catheterisation hasn’t been mentioned, there was reference to there being no plan to transfer to commode, and a static commode being provided at home. So, if she was having to get up to toilet, then there’s absolutely no excuse she couldn’t have been weighed then. Was she on a weigh bed in the...

Someone has put 50p in Garner and he’s off, using his energy and platform to support Miller’s op-ed

We could do that by contacting the Reader’s Editor.

Ooooh Dave, places that are cities have a real “thing” about being a city. Originally they would need to have a Catherdral or a University, so there aren’t “university towns”. The requirements have changed since. Each year there are towns clamouring for city status to Parliament. Be careful...

Very sensible, and I hope it’s picked up as an issue, the Drs say they know ME is real, it’s not for them to say whether it’s psychological or not etc but they don’t understand ME. The patient doesn’t respond to their treatment, the patient doesn’t act they way they feel they should, you can see...

It’s the usual, then. ME causes these symptoms and we haven’t yet discovered why. Nevertheless, pwME report that eating can be difficult for them.

Wow, never heard of Dumping Syndrome, probably have it! Assumed it was IBS.

Sometimes that’s just how it goes. Anyway, good enough is good enough, it’s a great letter. We shouldn’t have to worry about citing sources, we’re unwell, we’re not making an academic paper or leading an ME service.
