@itvnews: A coroner has issued a damning report against an NHS hospital trust following the entirely preventable death of a 31-year-old autistic man with learning disabilities, branding the attitude of doctors “dismissive and complacent”. #itvnews #news
this happens even in Ireland. my daughter had learning disabilities and wasn't taken seriously at an a&e. she had serious vomiting and diarrhea. she hadn't eaten in days. she was overweight and the doctor told her it was her body's way of losing weight. I begged them to keep her in. GPS didn't take it serious either. a week later she died. it was an infection that wasn't treated and it went to her heart. as she was so weak ,it stopped her heart. she was just 20 yrs old. no inquest as her death was ruled natural causes. it hard to bare knowing her death was preventable. its so wrong that medical staff dismiss concerns

My daughter died through medical negligence I cannot even get a Coronor to do an inquest here in Liverpool. My daughter was 42 years 2021 leaving her daughter she 12 yrs old with no mother. My daughter was treated as a drunk she died 10 hours later from a posterior circulation stroke

Oliver McGowan died due to negligence. A training program has been developed yet nothing has changed. It’s time for things to change and followed up.

You know why it’s not been published it’s because it coincides with the reduction of PIP and it’s not good for the optics because there’s already a swell of support criticising them and this would just add to the already very evident discrimination of disabled people

When drs find out I’m autistic, they treat me like I’m a child. The discrimination and infantilisation of our community needs to stop. I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending you warmth and peace as you process your grief.

Adults with Autism/ Learning disabilities are completely ignored, we're not seen as even proper members of society. I am sick and tired of hearing about needless deaths and mistreatment. This should never have ever happened.

Horrific. In 2025 how is this still happening? And the audacity to victim blame Miles by saying he had “capacity” and was choosing to not take his medication 😳😡

We got a phone call to say my step dad was passing, later we found out 8 hours before the hospital agreed to stop treatment. NHS is failing and has for years
