a student's life could have been saved had doctors at a brighton hospital acted sooner — that's according to nhs documents leaked to bbc newsnight. 21—year—old melissa zoglie went to a&e last year with acute abdominal pain, but doctors didn't realise her stomach was twisted — a life—threatening situation — and she was sent home. at an inquest this week, the coroner concluded that there was no clinical indication for further investigations but highlighted inconsistencies in some of the evidence. last month, newsnight heard from four whistleblowers who said patients died unnecessarily and others were effectively maimed by surgeons at university hospitals sussex. the trust says patient data doesn't support claims of unnecessary deaths or maiming. joe pike has this report. sometimes i just feel like screaming for help. sometimes i'll be sleeping and i wake up panicking. no family should go through this. melissa zoglie's parents are struggling.

we understand melissa zoglie's case is not part of that investigation. do you believe the hospital were open and honest with you? no. nno, not at all. we were there throughout. they've really let us down. we feel disappointed. they haven't learned anything from the mistakes they did. so it's likely they can make the same mistakes over and over again. the trust says they've been in contact with the family throughout, seeking their views, sharing findings, and offering to meet. melissa zoglie's parents are now looking for a new home, because they say their current flat seems empty and quiet without their daughter. it's not the same without her because always when we are home, we feel, oh, she's gone somewhere and she'll be back. but you wait and you realise, oh, no, she's not coming back. the pope has used his annualforeign policy address to condemn the practice of surrogacy,

each had a barrister. the coroner told the court it was not herjob to apportion blame. she found that the evidence was that there was no clinical indication for further investigations at the time melissa was first admitted to hospital. the coroner, joanne andrews, concluded that melissa zoglie died from natural causes, but she did highlight inconsistencies between the recollections of doctors and the recollections of the family, and also highlighted discrepancies in some of the evidence from the trust. and leaked internal documents obtained by bbc neswnight suggest the trust was aware opportunities were missed. a departmental review said a learning point was that the patient should have been reviewed and examined by general surgery prior to discharge. in the trust's patient safety incident investigation report, they concluded there was a missed opportunity for earlier diagnosis. had there been a surgical team review and a ct scan considered, the significance of a large gastric

bubble on melissa's chest x—ray was not recognised and not all clinical reviews were documented. and a review from a senior trust doctor who wasn't involved in melissa's treatment concluded that if surgery had been identified as clinically necessary on the day she first went to hospital... "i believe that ms zoglie's life would have been saved." her chest x—ray carried out on that day showed an abnormally enlarged stomach. based upon the information available at the time, a ct scan would have been an appropriate follow up investigation." i was concerned to read that the doctors in a&e did try to reach surgeons on a number of occasions without success. and so that does raise questions, i think, about the availability of surgeons in a hospital as huge as the royal sussex. and that then leads to some wider issues, i think, essentially around the defensiveness of the trust, because this case on its own would be tragic enough.

their daughter was just 21 when last april she was admitted to hospital with abdominal pain. her stomach was twisted, rare in a patient of her age. but doctors at royal sussex county hospital didn't realise. they ordered a chest x—ray, but not a ct scan to see her internal organs. she was sent home with medication typically used to treat stomach ulcers. the next day, melissa collapsed at home, she was taken by ambulance back to hospital. she told her mother she could not feel her legs. soon after, melissa had a heart attack. cpr was administered, but when she was taken for emergency surgery, doctors discovered her stomach was dead, and there was nothing they could do. this week, melissa zoglie's family attended the inquest into her death. they were forced to represent themselves because they couldn't afford a lawyer. the trust and a local gp

but it does come into the context of some wider concerns, i think, about the responsiveness of the trust when complaints are made, the confidence of staff to speak out. we know that there have been issues in the past around whistleblowers feeling that they can't speak out. the trust said it wished to extend its sincere condolences to melissa's family and added... "senior clinicians used their best judgment to diagnose the symptoms she presented with. but tragically, melissa had an extraordinarily rare condition, especially for someone so young. such presentations are extremely challenging for staff trying to make the right decisions around tests and diagnostics. and the coroner agreed there was no clinical indication for further investigations at the time, concluding melissa had died from natural causes." meanwhile, newsnight has discovered that last spring, the trust asked the royal college of surgeons to review its digestive diseases department. that probe is ongoing. and the same department is one of two that sussex police are looking into regarding 105 cases of alleged medical negligence.
