Thank god this is looking more optimistic. Sarah is wonderful. She mentions that Maeves father Sean being a seasoned journalist also helped with illuminating facts for the hearings. It’s terrible it is requiring this level of effort from both of them.

 

I’m so grateful to both of them for continuing their fight not only for Maeve but for all ME patients. Thank you again Sarah and Sean if you’re reading this.

 

I second this.

Such an important issue given the repeated medical abuse of people with very severe ME involving eating/feeding issues. Coroners are in a position to issue clear statements of what has happened and give advise on what needs to be done, including referral of the matter to the Police. Though the aetiology of the feeding issues in very severe ME is not well understood the potential management strategies are very straight forward and should be obvious.

However, for family facing such a horrendous time it is a big ask to take on the medical system.
