When a young mother complained to paramedics she was suffering chest pains, cold sweats and her lips were going black, she was told to take Panadol and follow up with a GP. Within 48 hours, she was dead. On Wednesday, a South Australian coroner found Jennifer Collins, 30, would likely still be alive if not for a series of missteps by those overseeing her treatment.
The hospital subsequently decided not to investigate her condition using a blood culture test, which was a “pivotal decision” according to the coroner. “I find that if this had been done then her death was likely to have been prevented as infective endocarditis would have been identified,” he said. Instead, the possibility of Collins having infective endocarditis was “inappropriately discounted” and the incorrect decision to discharge her was made.
