Doctors and nurses at Joondalup Health Campus refused to believe a 10-year-old girl had been bitten by a deadly tiger snake, going so far as to suggest she was faking her vomiting, blurred vision, and severe pain to avoid school the next day. The shocking case — which occurred at the end of May — included staff failing to accurately interpret a blood test that indicated a snake bite.
It was around 3pm when Olivia arrived at Joondalup Health Campus. In addition to vomiting, she was having trouble breathing, experiencing blurred vision, hot and cold flushes, and had significant pain in her leg. Ms Bakranich said two nurses examined Olivia’s leg and decided it was “definitely not a snake bite”. “The triage nurse said she had been hit in the back of the leg by a stick and got gastro at the same time,” Ms Bakranich said.
