Or perhaps it wasn't baby E that was given too much milk, and another baby. Might have gotten confusedI think we'll have to wait for the medical experts to confirm about when the attacks are purported to have taken place, but I think Letby is also accused of trying to kill the baby through giving too much milk as well as injecting air. Perhaps this is what she is supposed to be doing around 9pm? Collapse from air embolism seems to happen pretty quickly after injection so perhaps prosecution say this happened closer to 11pm?
I wonder what they will say caused the bleeding. We didn't see excessive bleeding in the other air embolus cases, so maybe this could be from giving excessive levels of milk?
I don't think they're related. This is what the prosecutor said in his opening statement -I find this very confusing too. I find Child E an anomaly at this point. Why wpuld an air embolus cause a GI bleed?
But appreciate we haven't heard all of the medical experts yet. Dr Evans and Dr Bohin are good at setting the scene
Gosh, I totally missed that they had even commented yet! You are really on the ball Tortoise, thank you!I don't think they're related. This is what the prosecutor said in his opening statement -
Medical expert Dr Sandie Bohin agreed the cause of death was air embolus and acute bleeding.
She concluded that the cause of the bleeding was unknown but acknowledged “fleetingly rare” possible natural causes that could not be ruled out in the absence of a post-mortem.
Dr Bohin concentrated on the abdominal discolouration and concluded that air was deliberately introduced via an intravenous line.
Dr Dewi Evans said Child E's death "was the result of a combination of an air embolus and bleeding which was indicative of trauma".
The air embolus was "intentionally introduced" into Child E's bloodstream via an IV line "to cause significant harm".
They haven't given evidence yet, that was from the opening speech as to what their reports sayGosh, I totally missed that they had even commented yet! You are really on the ball Tortoise, thank you!
Speak for yourself I've been dying to know about the plumbing situation this whole time as it's so key to the whole case.....what poor reporting!
absolutely no context or background, hardly worth the tweets IMO
