Boy dies days after doctors ‘ignored’ sepsis signs and told parents ‘we’re the professionals’

Jack Sands

An inquest heard his parents Gemma and John warned doctors after researching the symptoms of sepsis online but were told: “We’re the professionals. We know what we’re doing.”

But the 23-month-old, from Goole, East Yorks, tragically passed away on July 17 last year – just days after the surgery at Leeds General Infirmary.

Brain surgeon Paul Chumas told the inquest: “I hope one of the lessons learned is that we should listen to parents because they are the specialists in the care of their children.”

Tom: Always do your own research! The Medical professionals are not perfect, they do not know it all. To believe they do jeaopardises the lives of you and your loved ones. Remember, the third leading cause of death in the US at present is iatrogenic (caused by medical staff) illness. Where’s the national emergency over that one? Oh, sorry, no pharmaceutical company makes political donations to sell more vaccines against that.
