Appendicitis Death: Plea for Help Ignored
10 Dec
Summary
- Man died after multiple days of ignored pleas for medical help.
- He was admitted to hospital only after suffering a cardiac arrest.
- His death was due to multiple organ failure following surgery.
A devastating case has emerged where a young man, Adam Ali Hussain, died from appendicitis after his desperate pleas for medical attention were allegedly ignored for several days. The 23-year-old suffered from worsening abdominal pain and vomiting before his condition deteriorated significantly.
His situation culminated in a cardiac arrest on May 15, leading to his admission to Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham. Although he underwent emergency surgery, the damage was too severe, and he tragically passed away the following day from multiple organ failure.
An inquest into his death revealed that Mr. Hussain had repeatedly called both 999 and the NHS non-emergency line between May 12 and May 15. He reported severe pain, vomiting, dizziness, and blood in his urine, highlighting a critical delay in receiving necessary care.
