Canberra doctor Andrew Foote loses his long battle to nullify the coronial report into the death of new mother Corinna Medway.
Canberra doctor Andrew Foote has lost his lengthy battle to nullify a coronial report into the death of a patient who had just had twins, despite a finding the coroner erred by not seeking his input on adverse findings about his treatment.
Instead the letter included passages from submissions made to the court by the Counsel Assisting, including that Dr Foote had failed to adequately treat Ms Medway's blood pressure, which he recorded as 190/90, or consider the implications of the escalation in her blood pressure and the risk to Ms Medway that she may be experiencing pre-eclampsia.
She noted experts in the case agreed that the initial treatment of Ms Medway for pain and potential pulmonary embolus was reasonable.
