The tragic deaths of 18-year-old ME sufferer Maeve Boothby O'Neill and the harrowing experience of Millie McAinsh, another 18-year-old ME sufferer, have shed light on the dire lack of NHS services for patients with severe ME. Maeve died after being discharged three times when an NHS hospital allegedly mishandled her care, while Millie was wrongly sectioned and left without care in a hospital. Millie's condition rapidly declined, and she is mostly non-verbal. The families of both Maeve and Millie are calling for an overhaul of the NHS to prevent deaths of severely ill ME patients.
The families are advocating for improved healthcare services and protocols for patients with severe ME. They are urging for increased knowledge and understanding within the medical profession about how to treat and care for these patients, as well as better adherence to existing guidelines and protocols. The families are also urging the NHS to provide appropriate care and support for patients with severe ME, ensuring that they receive the specialized care they need to prevent further deterioration of their condition or even death.
In addition to the cases of Maeve and Millie, another incident has come to light involving 19-year-old actress Mamie Laverock. Mamie is currently recovering in the hospital after falling five stories from a hospital balcony last month. Her family shared a photo of her hand hooked up to an IV cannula and holding a teddy bear. Mamie's mother provided updates on her condition, stating that Mamie opened her eyes for the first time since the fall. Mamie has undergone multiple surgeries and is in tremendous pain. Her mother claims that the fall was not intended and blames St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, Canada. Providence Health Care, the operator of the hospital, declined to comment on the matter.
The incident involving Mamie Laverock highlights the need for improved safety measures in hospitals to prevent such accidents from occurring. It also underscores the importance of providing appropriate care and support for patients recovering from severe injuries. The families of Maeve Boothby O'Neill, Millie McAinsh, and Mamie Laverock are all advocating for better healthcare services and protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of patients in hospitals.
