One of the problems was that Letby also used innocuous non-drugs. Plus I know this through other circumstances, the correct volume of drugs can be removed from the cabinet/trolly, then either illicitly withheld or played with so that one patient gets more, one less.
One of the dumbest things I’ve heard over the last few days is from (not real) experts clamouring to say that NHS screening for staff depression or any history of depression should be key. [As Letby had had some in her life]. That they shouldn’t be employed by the NHS.
That would eliminate 20%...
*** James Robertson Justice types and it was true. Even now, we laugh that the posse of student doctors/junior doctors that follow consultants on ward rounds are on edge. The BBC comedy series Getting On mocked this well.
Both worldly wise, that’s the Nicky Campbell ‘Lucy Letby’ show after...
Conversely, there was a weird counter reaction on LBC this afternoon. Socially minded/kind Shelagh Fogarty faced a few “Ah, so people want to kick the NHS” after callers talked about unacceptable actions in maternity wards, their infants dying and cover ups.
Either thick or trying to make it...
When the direct actions of seniors managers in public services or businesses lead or fail to prevent deaths or similar, shirley there should be all of criminal law, fiscal (public sector pensions) and disciplinary consequences. Corporate manslaughter where directors of private companies can...
These are the three senior managers who ignored the paediatricians serious concerns as babies were unexpectedly dying, them overrode them, compelling them all to sign an apology to Letby, finally reinstating her leading to further murders. Kelly remains in senior NHS director of nursing roles.
A similar story from Mrs.W, both NHS and private nursing homes. She has no qualms about issuing safeguarding notices, challenging; incompetence, bullying of the vulnerable, theft of meds!
The consultants have come out of this well, albeit in horrible circumstances. Their instincts told them that the numbers weren't right, Letby's reactions were upbeat and odd.
They were then told by management to shut it or there'll be repercussions.
Lives were lost due to that astonishing...
Very sensitive coverage on R5 just now, interviews with the parents explaining the key moments and Letby's cold/surly reaction.
Brings tears to your eyes, tiny lives taken.
I have followed this case.
Terrible for the parents.
Twatter’s been ridiculous over the last couple of days, loads of executioners chipping in with balanced opinions such “Rot in hell, evil bitch”.
