FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The family of a seven-year-old boy found dead wedged between his hospital bed and a wall want Queensland’s coroner to investigate.
Joshua Plumb, who had cerebral palsy, died on December 15, 2010, after being admitted to Ipswich Hospital with a bowel complaint.
The high-care-needs child had been with his mother until she went home to care for his sibling around 8pm, but was found unconscious and not breathing by a nurse after 11pm, his family said today.
They said Joshua was not capable of pressing his call button for help and needed constant monitoring, which they say the hospital failed to carry out even though the child was well known to staff.
The family have engaged a law firm to write to the Queensland coroner to ask that the circumstances of Joshua’s death be looked into.
Maurice Blackburn lawyer Vicki Holmes said the child had been put at risk by being placed in a room away from the nursing station.
“It is apparent from the medical records that Joshua was not regularly observed that evening,” Ms Holmes said in a statement.
She said the entry in Joshua’s clinical records showed he was awake and watching TV at 8pm, but the next entry, at 11.20pm, states Joshua was “unconscious, wedged between bed and wall”.
An autopsy recorded the cause of death as “undetermined” but listed three possibilities – aspiration of fluid into the lungs, epilepsy or positional asphyxia/neck compression, his family said.
“When you admit your child to hospital, you expect them to be safe – not die within three hours of being left in the hospital’s care,” mother Miranda Plumb said.
“I was exhausted after waiting in emergency for most of the day.
“… I would never have left Joshua if I felt he was in any danger.”
She said she needed answers.
“I cared for him for seven and a half years and always managed to keep him safe, I trusted the hospital to do the same for one night,” she said.
