Summary
This video published by the Irish Health Service Executive (HSE) tells the story of Pat, whose bowel cancer diagnosis was missed, resulting in his premature death. His daughter Patricia talks about the two investigations that took place into her father's death and how the hospital's internal investigation failed to acknowledge that a staff member had raised concerns about Pat's initial colonoscopy on five occasions, but this had not been followed up. She describes the impact of these events on her father and the rest of the family and calls on medical professionals to "trust us (families) more and fear solicitors less."
