A 16-year-old British schoolgirl has tragically died following her doctor said her headaches were due to a cold.
In detail, Isabel Kate Connolly Wheelock complained that she had a headache during her appointment with the doctor, who noticed that her heart rate had risen to 139 beats per minute, but he considered the matter “normal” and that it occurred because she had a cold.
Just three days later, Isabel collapsed in the emergency department and died hours following her health condition deteriorated, according to the newspaper.Mirror” British.
After a series of investigations conducted yesterday, Wednesday, District Judge Kate Bissett revealed that Isabel “did not show signs that she was suffering from meningitis,” which cost her life, according to the coroner.
For his part, Dr. Richard Benson, a critical care consultant, described Isabel’s condition as “very unusual” as her deterioration was very rapid, adding: “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone deteriorate so quickly before.”
“Mirror” noted that Isabelle “did not exhibit the known symptoms of meningitis, such as a skin rash, or sensitivity to light. Nor did the CT scan show swelling in the brain, which is typical for a person suffering from this condition.”
