Yes, as the Titanic sank.

I like swearing. I also like an analogy, quote etc. These Drs are putting me in mind of the saying “Nero fiddled whilst Rome burned”

Reading Dave’s original piece has helped me visualise a timeline. https://www.codastory.com/waronscience/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-long-covid-unexplained-symptoms/ Dr Shenton recommended tube feeding in March. Hospital discharged same day. Hospital DrWeir recommended tube feeding in May. Hospital...

Agreed, the Telegraph piece gives Maeve’s voice very clearly. Non-paywalled here https://archive.is/fV7Pn

I’m hoping next week we find out why the NG wasn’t even attempted until July I read a report I think it quoted Dr Patel saying about the patient making “irrational choices” I think in the context of wanting to go home. They’re not irrational if you have ME, doc.

I think this is a really important point. Dr Weir has seen more very severe patients since the GET was pushed

Dr Praag’s evidence seems really key, hopefully we’ll get a write up later. I’m signing off for a bit.

I’m just summarising what I see on twitter. Apparently 155 were in, now it’s just 105 after resuming?

There’s a lot of technical difficulties, people leaving cameras on, sound issues and people being thrown off the feed apparently

Dr Julia Praag says she recognises ME is a physical illness

“She didn’t want to exist like that/there’s no cure” etc these medics keep rolling out Maeve wanted nutrition in March, April, May, June, July, August and early September. She wanted to live. They didn’t get it together to provide TPN until the end of September by which time she’d spent 6...

Dr Strain replying to tweets - I actually think it’s “bad form” for him to be discussing Maeve on twitter whilst the inquest is ongoing. I get that he wants to protect his own reputation, and ppl are @ing him but he’s crossed a line for me by saying she wanted this or that.

Questioning finished, Dr Patel release and break for lunch

Sean O’Neill is now questioning Dr Patel He asks about artificial feeding policies - Coroner interrupts to say they will be spending a whole day looking at this Just to note, it’s clear from X twitter posts that Dr Patel is giving the “stock” answer we’ve heard from all the Drs that we don’t...

Dr Patel giving evidence Maeve had a SALT assessment Was given Fludrocortisone at some point there’s a record that this stopped? Sarah Boothby is now asking questions - she finishes by thanking Dr Patel and says they were a very good consultant. Now there’s a break with thanks to ME...

I don’t expect a Coroner to do anything especially “explosive” at least, unless they’re known as an outspoken one. I strongly suspect this Coroner is on the ball, it’s seems both Maeve and Dr Shelton have captured plenty of evidence at the time. I also hope Sarah Boothby, as the main carer, is...

Amazing @Nightsong so much detail you’ve captured, have a good rest.

Yeah, I feel like if A&E paged Dr Roy that someone had their neck crushed and hadn’t eaten for a while so he needs nutrition, Dr Roy would be like “well it’s urgent for you, not for me. Let’s talk again next week….”

I understand that SALT would also look at swallowing, for me it’s the lack of urgency. You have a GP saying she’s not eating, losing weight, very unwell needs nutrition, possibly via tube and Dr Roy is like “hang on, I think we need to go through a number of steps first, like spend a few weeks...

From the Telegraph. Dr Roy comments I’ve not seen anywhere else today https://archive.ph/2024.07.25-172315/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/07/25/doctors-treating-me-patient-nutritionist-no-expertise/ 22 September Dr Roy discussed with DrShenton “it’s unclear how much feeding problems are...
