Erin Dennis collapsed at her home shortly after spending 43 hours and 38 minutes in the A&E of Tallaght University Hospital in Dublin and died of a blood clot.
A woman who died of a blood clot after having weight loss surgery in Turkey revealed to have spent nearly two days sitting in an overcrowded emergency department, an inquest hears.
The inquest heard patients should be triaged within 15 minutes, however Ms Dennis was not seen until four hours and 29 minutes after arriving at the hospital on February 28, 2022. Ms Dennis' conditions warranted a doctor's examination within an hour after being triaged. However, it took over 11 hours before that happened, and another six and a half hours before the findings of a CT scan were ready.
Dr McCarthy said doctors had believed the vomiting was due to the effect of the gastric sleeve surgery as there was “no other obvious cause.” The inquest heard the fracture to the deceased’s left ankle was linked to a problem with her gait which may have been due to her lack of vitamin B1.
