This is 23-year-old Edith Owusu.
One of Rob's patients accidentally overdosed.
He called me and asked me to code that overdose is deliberate.
Why is this going to an inquest?
Just stick to the facts
regarding the treatment you gave Edith, you'll be fine.
Don't do this, please, I'm begging you. Stop it!
I'll tell them you're an addict! I am not an addict!
CAR BRAKES SCREECH
What happened?
Local GP, Dr Rob Thornbury, got hit by a car in Park Square.
So, the assumption is whoever owns that number
alerted Lucinda to Edith's overdose.
I'd like to invite the founder,
Dr Jubair Singh, to present the award.
The winners of the Outstanding Covid Response Award are...
West Yorkshire Royal Hospital's A&E team.
How about I give you something that's going to help you calm down?
Fetch me four 10mg diazepam tablets.
40mg? You'll knock her out.
I need to get my phone fixed, please.
Rob, they need to know if you dealt with her.
If this goes any further then, trust me,
you'll be the one going down with her.
SHE MUTTERS
SHE SIGHS
Shit!
SHE BREATHES DEEPLY
HE KNOCKS
So, Lucinda's phone records finally arrived yesterday.
Right.
I cross-referenced it with the dates she treated opioid overdoses
and, look, the same number that called Lucinda the day Edith died
called her twice on January 7th,
before Alexander Taylor arrived in A&E with a deliberate overdose,
and again, twice, February 23rd,
when Camilla Woodham presented in exactly the same way.
And I checked with the 999 call centre,
both overdoses were called in by that number,
just like Edith.
Well, that IS interesting.
Isn't it?
Did they call before Milo Hanbury came in? Uh, no.
But, I mean, even if we discount Milo for now.
It looks like she's working with someone but... who?
Let's get the notes
for Alexander Taylor and Camilla Woodham,
see if there's anything linking them to each other,
to Lucinda, to Edith.
Already on it. I'm picking them up later this morning.
Steady on, George - you'll have my job next.
Well done.
Right, I better get to this inquest.
Oh, yes.
Right, the facts are, Lucinda,
you had to deal with a gunshot victim,
so you left Edith Owusu in Ramya's capable hands
with a clear management plan, which you, Ramya, followed.
We did everything we could, but this is the tragic result
of a girl trying to take her own life.
Just to warn you, Edith's dad, Sir Anthony,
used to be a barrister,
so he's going to be acting
as the family's legal representation.
I know, I know, it feels daunting,
but, remember, none of you are on trial, OK?
This is just a fact-finding exercise
to help the coroner determine the exact cause of death,
so what you've got to do is stick to the hospital line -
you each did your best to treat Edith,
but these things happen.
Right? Nobody is culpable.
And what's the worst that could happen?
Well, if the coroner concludes it's medical negligence
that's caused Edith's death
then that could open us up to lawsuits from the family,
the police could get involved,
so let's not give them the opportunity.
However, if he rules it's a suicide,
then the hospital will look less responsible. So...
Good luck. Let's get going.
Thank you.
I can see that this is difficult for you,
but when did you last see Edith?
The day she died.
What was your impression of Edith's mental state during those times?
We had no reason to believe she was using drugs.
Was there a hint of suicidal thinking?
No.
None.
Thank you. If you'd wait there, please.
Mrs Roberts, do you have any questions?
Verity Roberts, legal counsel, West Yorkshire Royal Hospital.
When Edith left your home,
did she mention any anxiety about the new job,
any problems with friends or a partner?
Edith didn't have a partner.
She was excited about the new job,
but I don't believe she was trying to kill herself.
I'd like to play part of the 999 call that was made
the night that Edith died,
and if you find that too distressing I can read out a transcript instead.
No, it's fine.
Please, go ahead.
Can we play the recording, please.
BEEP ON RECORDING: I need a...
I need an ambulance to 9 Somerville Road.
My friend, Edith, I think she's tried to kill herself.
OK, who am I speaking to?
And what has Edith done?
I don't know. She's... She's...
I think she's dying, she's not responding.
Please, you need to send someone right away. 9 Somerville Road.
PHONE BEEPS REPEATEDLY
Do you know this friend of Edith's?
No.
No, I don't. Never heard...
I've never heard that voice ever before, but she had many friends.
She was...
She was popular, it was hard to keep up with everyone.
He states very clearly that Edith tried to kill herself.
Is it not possible that during those last days
that Edith hid her drug use and her suicidal thoughts...?
It wasn't suicide.
If I thought for one second Edith intended to harm herself
I would never have left her on her own.
Never.
SHE SNIFFS
VOICE BREAKING: Edith's overdose was an accident,
and your hospital missed an opportunity to save her life.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
You may step down now.
SHE CRIES
The post-mortem indicated Edith was using opioids regularly.
There were multiple puncture marks on her body
consistent with drug injection,
and hair follicle samples contained opioid metabolites,
indicating long-term use.
In your opinion, did opioids contribute to Edith's death?
Yes.
Toxicology and pathology confirm intravenous administration
of the opioid drug fentanyl caused Edith's death.
Had Edith taken a large amount of fentanyl?
We found high levels of fentanyl in Edith's blood.
63.8 micrograms per litre.
So, given the high levels of fentanyl found in Edith's blood,
was the overdose likely to have been deliberate or accidental?
Fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin,
but a seasoned drug user like Edith
would know you only need a small amount to feel its effect.
So why did she take so much?
On the other hand, she could easily just be pursuing a greater high
and miscalculated the dose.
Thank you. I have no further questions.
Mrs Roberts?
No, sir. Sir Anthony?
No, sir.
In that case I'd like to thank you, Dr Adeyemi. You may step down.
The next witness I would like to call is Dr Eva Tait.
Dr Tait, would you care to swear or affirm?
I'll swear.
In that case, there is a small card on the ledge in front of you,
if you'd read from that, please.
"I swear by the Almighty God
"that the evidence I give shall be the truth,
"the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."
Thank you, Dr Tait, for taking time out of your maternity leave
to be with us today.
The court much appreciates that.
It's the least I could do.
Now, you were Edith's addiction consultant
at the Guelder Clinic from May to October 2021?
Yes, that's right.
Edith had a complex history of drug misuse,
including cocaine, alcohol and heroin,
which was her main problem.
And she wanted to be free of it.
But she engaged well with the treatment,
and she achieved this.
She was abstinent when she left us.
So, was there any possibility that she could have relapsed?
Well, yes, sadly.
For opiate addicts, their risk of relapse is high.
Particularly now that it's easier to buy synthetic opioids,
such as fentanyl, on the streets.
And when Edith was under your care
did she ever express suicidal tendencies?
Yes.
Erm...
We did extensive work
on her negative thoughts and core beliefs,
but her suicidal ideation remained a prominent problem.
She...
It's OK, take your time. Thank you.
It's very sad.
Why the hell didn't you say you knew Edith from the Guelder Clinic?
Shh, Lucinda, have you forgotten where we are?
We're at the inquest of a girl who died
because Rob prescribed her fentanyl. What the fuck was he thinking?
You can't prove that the fentanyl came from Rob.
Edith could easily have bought it off the street.
He told me he was prescribing her...
He told me he was prescribing her methadone.
She was a patient of YOURS.
No, she was not my patient when she died.
I hadn't seen her for months.
No, Rob specifically called me
because he didn't want anyone looking into his prescribing.
He was covering up what the hell you two were doing.
No, I haven't done anything.
If Rob was prescribing for Edith, I knew nothing about it.
OK, so how did he know them?
How did he know Camilla, Alexander, all the other patients -
is it just a fucking coincidence?
Is it just a coincidence that they were all being treated
at the Guelder Clinic?
I have done nothing wrong,
but you have covered up, what, three overdoses for Rob,
so you're just as implicated now.
He was prescribing legal drugs to addicts.
Yeah - addicts like you.
Listen to you, accusing me and Rob and...
you seem to have forgotten about your own drug habit.
I wonder what the MIU would make of that?
You wouldn't dare. Wouldn't I?
If you don't stop pointing the finger at us
I will have no choice.
And judging by the sound of you, you're due a refill.
If you weren't so busy accusing me
I might have been able to help you.
Tom?
Abi?
I've gone through the A&E notes for Alexander Taylor
and Camilla Woodham, but nothing indicates Lucinda knew them.
SHE SIGHS
How was the inquest?
Oh, you know, long.
None of the RH team even gave evidence today,
so it was just the pathologist,
Edith's psychiatrist from the Guelder Clinic, and her mum.
The Guelder Clinic?
Wait, hold on.
I'm sure...
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Both Camilla and Alexander were detoxed there.
Well, that can't be a coincidence.
Could Lucinda have a connection to the clinic?
Will you go there tomorrow and see what you can find out?
Yeah, yeah. Will do.
LUCINDA MUTTERS
Camilla...
SHE MUTTERS
SHE EXHALES
In your statement,
you said there weren't any options.
Edith was the most stable patient, she needed to be moved,
so Dr Edwards showed poor clinical judgement,
wasn't able to prioritise,
and delayed Edith's transfer for, what, no reason?
Uh, perhaps, I don't remember.
Really?
You don't recall pressurising Dr Edward's
into prioritising Patient X
because, I quote, "She's just a child,"
over Edith who, I quote,
"Was just a junkie?"
MURMURING IN COURT No!
Well...
we have a statement from a porter who alleges you did just that.
No, I would never use the word junkie to describe a patient.
That's derogatory. I...
I just wouldn't... I wouldn't use that word.
Hmm.
You know, sometimes facts like that are...
Well, they're hard to remember, aren't they?
No further questions, sir.
Thank you, Sir Anthony.
Mrs Roberts, any questions?
No, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mrs Relph, you're free to go.
Please step down.
Our next witness is Dr Ramya Morgan.
Would you care to swear or affirm?
I'll swear.
Would you like an alternative text?
No, the regular Bible's fine. Thanks.
OK, thank you.
If you would read from the card in front of you, please.
"I swear by Almighty God
"that the evidence I give shall be the truth,
"the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."
Thank you.
Sir Anthony, your witness.
Dr Morgan.
SIR ANTHONY CLEARS HIS THROAT
Can you take us through your involvement
in Edith's A&E care?
Um...
I was bleeped to Resus to watch Edith
while Dr Edwards took care of an emergency in reception.
And when she came back
I thought she would continue looking after Edith,
but instead I was told a Patient X needed Edith's bed,
and I was going to Majors with Edith,
and Dr Edwards gave me a treatment plan.
And what was that treatment plan?
Dr Edwards asked me to give 800 micrograms naloxone,
and if Edith's breathing improved, to let her know.
And what happened next?
Well, after the naloxone was given, Edith's respiratory rate improved,
so I returned to Resus.
Leaving Edith alone?
There were other staff around.
But no-one dedicated to her care, correct?
Correct.
Did you consider waiting and observing Edith
to see if the improvement
in her breathing would be maintained?
I waited to see the improvement.
And then you left - immediately?
No, no. Uh, not immediately.
Uh, I can't remember how long I stayed.
Hmm.
Dr Morgan, do you know how quickly the initial effects of naloxone
can wear off?
I now know.
But you didn't know when you prescribed the drug for Edith?
Did you?
How long have you been a qualified doctor?
About 18 months.
How long did Dr Edwards ask you to wait and observe Edith?
I'm not...
I don't remember.
I'm so sorry, could you speak up, so the whole court can hear you.
I don't remember.
And when you returned to Resus,
was Dr Edwards grateful for your...
..extra pair of hands?
I don't remember.
Well, let me help you there, shall I?
I'm quoting from her statement -
"When Dr Morgan returned to Resus
"I asked her why she wasn't with the overdosed patient."
So, clearly Dr Edwards wasn't expecting you back,
so I'll ask you again,
why did you leave Edith so quickly and return to Resus
to a different patient,
who was already being handled by doctors with far more experience?
Dr Edwards never said that I needed to stay longer
in case the naloxone stopped working.
I'm sorry, are you saying that Dr Edwards lied?
No, no.
What she said in her written statement was false?
No, but I can only tell you what I remember.
OK.
So, in this hospital, full of competent doctors,
Dr Edwards didn't tell you how long to wait with Edith,
and after 18 months as a qualified medical practitioner
you didn't know how long to wait either.
A&E is really hectic.
And patients turn up all the time with conditions
that you don't know how to treat,
so you have to rely on your seniors for the support to work safely.
OK, so what you're really saying is
that without instructions from a senior
you don't know how to treat an overdose.
No, I didn't say that.
But I'm a junior - I'm there to learn,
and there's a lot to remember.
And after giving only one dose of naloxone to my daughter,
you returned to Resus.
If you'd only waited a few minutes more
you'd have noticed the initial effects of the naloxone wearing off
and been able to administer a second,
potentially life-saving dose, but you left her...
..struggling to breathe and under-medicated.
You effectively left Edith to die, didn't you?
Hmm?
No further questions, sir. Thank you.
Mrs Roberts, questions from yourself?
No, sir.
Thank you. You may step down when you're ready. Thank you.
Do you have any idea - any idea - how damaging this is to the trust?
You threw me under the bus as soon as he questioned your competence.
But I DIDN'T know how long to wait.
And you didn't tell me the naloxone would wear off so quickly.
Well, if you'd stayed like I told you,
you would've seen how quickly it wears off.
Instead you came to Resus. You need to control your juniors, Leo.
This has got nothing to do with me. I wasn't there.
Yeah, and you should have been... Hey, come on, guys, guys, come on.
Come on, rein this in.
We CAN recover from this,
but it is all going to depend heavily on you, Lucinda,
not messing it up this afternoon.
You've got to stick to the script. Have you got that?
Lucinda?
Have you?
I'm an A&E doctor, I'm not a mental health specialist.
Assessing whether a patient
deliberately wanted to kill themselves,
that should be done by a psychiatrist, not me.
But Edith had deliberately overdosed before.
Past behaviour usually predicts future behaviour,
and in cases where intent isn't clear
I always err on the side of caution and code it as deliberate.
This ensures that the patients are reviewed by psychiatry
prior to discharge.
And when did you become aware
that there was a problem with Edith's care?
Shortly after we stabilised Patient X
the alarms in Majors went off.
I ran to Edith, but she was already in respiratory failure.
Edith shortly went into cardiac arrest.
We worked on her for half an hour but we never got her back.
Thank you, Dr Edwards. If you'd wait there, please.
Sir Anthony, your witness.
Thank you, sir.
Dr Edwards, would you say Dr Morgan
is prone to forgetting simple instructions?
Uh...
We're all prone to occasional forgetfulness.
Yes, but it's highly unlikely that a doctor capable of learning
enough facts to pass her finals, with distinction, 18 months prior,
wouldn't remember the simple instructions
of watch, wait, and repeat a dose?
Well, in normal circumstances, yes.
But A&E isn't normal.
And with all due respect, sir,
memorising facts for an exam is very different
to processing information
in a real-life, high-pressure situation.
Yes, but even with all this pressure,
Dr Morgan correctly remembered the more complex details
you gave her vis-a-vis the type of drug and the dose.
Isn't it more likely that your instructions were unclear?
No, because she wasn't listening.
Yes, you said that Dr Morgan wasn't listening,
and your colleague spoke of your reluctance
to leave Edith with her, so why did you?
Because I had no choice and I had to make a decision, that's why.
Yes, you made all the decisions.
You dithered, and Edith... No. No, no. But I didn't...
..deteriorated. You chose to leave Edith with a doctor
whose incompetence has been shown today,
and that choice killed her.
MURMURING IN COURT
Are you not therefore guilty of gross negligence?
Sir, this is NOT a criminal court.
If I may remind counsel,
whilst I understand the emotional distress of this hearing,
he must refrain from accusing witnesses of criminal offences
they're not on trial for.
You treated my daughter without diligence or due care.
A total disregard for the...
VOICE BREAKING: ..for the severity...
..of the symptoms.
Erm...
Sir, I apologise.
No further questions.
Thank you.
In that case, I'd like to bring the session to a close.
I'll retire to consider my verdict.
We will reconvene in... three hours.
Thank you.
Thank you, Dr Edwards, you may step down.
And thank you, everyone else, for your time.
Excuse me, Sir Anthony, I just...
I'm very sorry for your loss.
Can I get a bottle of the liquid NightSoothe.
Yeah. Yeah, and...
..the one-a-night.
These both contain diphenhydramine, so don't take them both together.
They're sedatives.
Take one tablet at bedtime or a dose of the liquid...
Yeah, I'm a doctor, I know how to take them.
All right, OK.
SHE SIGHS For fuck sake.
SHE EXHALES
Hello! Hello!
How did it go? Awful.
Let's just say I'm happy to be back on the shop floor.
What are you doing? Are you STILL doing that audit?
I've told you, Oscar, nobody wastes medication in my A&E.
You know that.
Mm, you sure about that?
Mm-hm. Yeah?
What's this?
A patient that Ramya saw with Lucinda.
The patient needed 10, not 40, milligrams of diazepam.
Hang on, are you telling me that Ramya threw away 30mg?
Come on, it might not be Ramya's fault.
Maybe they thought the patient needed that much.
No, Oscar. Absolutely not.
40mg of diazepam for mild sedation?
That sounds like a Ramya cock up, doesn't it?
Listen... Mm?
..if you take medication from the store
it is your responsibility to make sure
you take the amount that's actually needed.
I know. Right.
Hi. Hi. Can I help you?
Yes, my name's Dr George Adjei from the Medical Investigation Unit.
We're investigating a doctor
who treated four of your former patients -
Edith Owusu, Camilla Woodham, Alexander Taylor and Milo Hanbury.
One of our doctors? She's called Dr Lucinda Edwards.
She's currently at the RH,
but I was hoping you could tell me if she's ever worked here
or has any connection to the clinic.
The name isn't familiar, but I'll check our staffing records. Thanks.
No, no, she's never worked here.
Oh.
Has the clinic ever received a referral from Dr Edwards?
No. Or have you ever referred any patients to her at the RH?
No, no, there's nothing.
The name isn't anywhere on our system.
OK. Uh...
Could I get copies of the notes for the patients I mentioned?
I'm afraid not. We...
We would written consent from each patient first.
Fine, can you contact and ask?
Of course, yeah.
I'll let you know. Do you have a card?
Oh, sorry. One...
Edith was treated by a Dr Eva Tait -
do you know if any of the others were?
I... I can check.
No, no, they all had different doctors.
Besides, Dr Tait's on maternity leave,
she hasn't worked here for six months.
Right.
I can tell you they were all successfully detoxed
and rehabilitated during their time here.
They were all completely drug free when they were discharged?
Yeah.
We've broken that revolving door addiction-patient tradition
so often perpetuated by the NHS.
Once our clients are discharged, they don't need to come back.
They get what they pay for.
But the patients I mentioned all relapsed and overdosed
after leaving this clinic.
You know Edith Owusu died?
Well, that had nothing to do with the treatment they received here.
Yeah, but...
it's not what they paid for, right?
No complaints have ever been made against the Guelder Clinic.
OK. Not yet, but if you keep focusing
on getting patients out of the door quickly
instead of giving them proper treatment,
it won't take long, will it?
Is that everything?
Yeah, for now.
Thanks.
Edith had taken a large amount of a dangerous opioid, fentanyl.
It's impossible to determine
whether she intended to take her own life,
or whether this was accidental.
Whilst I can find no fault with the doctors' actions in relation
to the outcome of Edith's overdose,
I find it unacceptable that a doctor
working in a high-pressure environment like A&E
should be reliant on instruction from a senior
to correctly treat an opioid overdose.
There is, therefore,
something amiss in the training of junior doctors
within the Royal Hospital's A&E department.
And, as such, I shall write
a prevention of future deaths report
recommending the trust review its medical education programme.
I would like to give a narrative conclusion
that Edith Owusu died
following the self administration of a large quantity of fentanyl,
resulting in cardiac arrest and death.
That is the end of my conclusion.
I would like to thank you for your time,
and please feel free to leave.
Well, that could have been loads worse.
Were you listening to a different verdict?
Thank you so much for all your hard work today, Lucinda.
You really did us proud.
Hey, all right, Mike. Leave it.
She did her best, yeah?
MIKE SIGHS
Are you happy now?
Excuse me?
Edith's death wasn't my fault - I assume we're done.
You know that's not how this works.
Oh, mate, you're so lucky you were out of it.
I mean, it was horrendous. Oh, really?
It literally made me feel like the worst doctor in the world.
All I do is try my best, and every time I get shat on.
I mean, what is the point?
Hey, our jobs make a difference.
Do they? Yeah.
OK, how long have you been working on that audit for?
And is it really going to save the department any money?
Yeah, actually, I think it will, yeah.
I don't know. I think you should've recycled last year's audit,
like the rest of us.
It's a tick-box exercise, Oscar, nobody actually cares.
THUMP Being an A&E doctor is a privilege,
and maybe instead of complaining all the time
you should focus on your work
and then you wouldn't make so many mistakes, would ya?
Sorry, what the fuck have I done this time?
Sorry, it may be my bad.
I may have mentioned a dispensing error that you made.
What?! When?
HE GROANS
Takes a look at that.
Lucinda told me to get 40mg,
and I even questioned the dose at the time. I said...
I wouldn't worry about this, all right?
Look, look, look, my audits... Oscar...
Listen, my audits aren't about individual mistakes,
they're about saving money
that we're wasting on chucking unused meds, OK?
Beth's going to get over it.
SHE SIGHS
Hmm.
Right, so, Edith, Alexander, Camilla and Milo were all treated
by different doctors at the Guelder Clinic.
Eva Tait wasn't even there when they overdosed,
she was on maternity leave.
So, Lucinda is still the only concrete link we have between them.
Shit.
Well, besides them relapsing
and deliberately overdosing after discharge.
Isn't it odd that they all tried to kill themselves?
And using the same method - I mean, what are the chances?
Isn't it more likely that they came out of treatment
and accidentally overdosed because they'd been off drugs for a while?
But if that were true...
..why would Lucinda code them all as deliberate? Look.
Do we have Edith's file here?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Oh, yeah, here you go.
All right, we asked Lucinda that in her first interview.
And she said she changed this to deliberate
to ensure Edith got a psych review.
She said it again at the inquest, but...
what if she...
What if she just didn't want anyone to know it was an accident?
But what does she stand to gain by coding them as deliberate
if she knew they were accidents?
Because when it's an accident
you look at what caused the accident.
The drugs!
Yes.
The drugs.
We've been focusing on the wrong thing.
Her parents had Edith stop buying street drugs a long time ago.
So... where was she getting them?
KNOCK ON DOOR
We understand your disappointment at the coroner's conclusions.
Edith deserved better.
If those doctors had done their job properly,
Edith would still be alive.
Well...
regarding that,
we would really appreciate your permission
to take a little look around Edith's flat.
What for?
Well, we're looking for anything that might tell us
where she got the drugs she overdosed on.
Are you trying to say that it was Edith's fault that she died?
No, not at all.
We feel there might be potentially something in there
linking Edith to whoever supplied her with the fentanyl
that ended her life.
Hmm...
Is she... behind the mirror?
ABI LAUGHS Nope!
Behind the curtain?
No!

Is she going to be OK?
Are you sure it was diazepam?
Yeah, there was an empty strip of 10mg tablets lying next to her.
Why do you have that strength of diazepam lying around the house?
I had a...
a shoulder injury. I had a prescription.
OK, and how many tablets were left in the strip?
I don't know, maybe a couple. OK.
Is she going to be OK? Even if there was only one... Yeah, OK.
Tell me she's not going to die. We're going to need flumazenil.
Beth, could you give her 120 micrograms over 15 seconds
and set up an infusion, please. Thank you.
She's not going to die, is she?
She's going to be fine. She's not going to die, is she?
Need airways securing? Yes, please, thank you, Sam.
And could someone take Tom to the relatives' room, please?
Come on, it's just this way.

Hi.
Hey, are you all right? How can I help?
