The hospital where the victim was admitted was accused of negligence
An absurd case occurred in one hospital from Great Britain. This time it is said that a woman aged 45 died due to the negligence of the doctors in charge of her.
Michelle Whitehead was admitted to the Millbrook Mental Health Unit in Nottinghamshire in 2021. At this point, she was experiencing symptoms of paranoia, irritability, restlessness, and distortion of reality.
According to the family, she drank excessive amounts of water and fell into a coma as excessive fluid intake caused the victim to have low sodium levels, which led to brain swelling. The information comes from the international newspaper Chron.

Now Michelle Whitehead’s relatives are accusing hospital doctors of allowing themselves to be distracted by using their mobile phones, even though this is banned on the wards. “It was inadequate monitoring,” said a family member of the deceased patient.
Michael, the woman’s widower, provided details of the situation. “When Michelle fell asleep, the team should have known something was seriously wrong. If they had acted sooner, she would have been taken to intensive care and hooked up to an IV. “It would have saved her life,” he explained.

Under these circumstances the case ended in court.
