The twitter world was taken over when news broke that Shannon Deakin, a teenage girl, collapsed and died after suffering a blood clot hours after she was sent home from hospital with antibiotics. People are pissed with the hospital saying that Doctors really not paying attention  anymore… I know yall are like who is she but her story is trending all over the world and I just wanted yall to know why….

Here’s the story

Shannon, 16, had been complaining of pain in her legs and abdomen for three days before her leg turned red and she went to an out-of-hours surgery. But a doctor send her home with antibiotics – after telling her parents she “either had an infection or a clot.” Just hours later, she collapsed and died at her home in Barnsley, South Yorks.

Her parents, Bryan, 58, and Sue, 43, desperately tried to revive their daughter after her collapse last Sunday. Mrs Deakin said: “This doctor examined her, said her leg was red. Critical care lacking in hospitals 09 Dec 2011 Child abuse rates ‘have not declined’ 09 Dec 2011 Drugs reduce stroke risk in patients with above average blood pressure 08 Dec 2011 “He said it was either an infection or a clot, and he was going to treat her for an infection. “He gave us antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, and said if it wasn’t better in 24 to 48 hours, to make an appointment with our regular GP and ask for a scan. “But Shannon kept complaining of pain when we went home, and 12 hours later, she just collapsed into the settee.

“Until then we had no idea there was anything seriously wrong – Shannon was still insisting she had just slept in an awkward position.

“She was my only daughter, and we are absolutely devastated.”

Her parents had taken Shannon to an out-of-hours surgery run by Care UK at Barnsley hospital on Saturday morning.

The family is considering legal action, believing the doctor should have done more. Mr Deakin said: “The problem with that out-of-hours surgery is, too many people use it when they could go to their ordinary doctor.

It was full of people with the sniffles. “I thought it was supposed to be about emergency care.

“Shannon had been complaining of an ache in her leg since Thursday – but it didn’t seem like there was much cause for concern. “She had said her leg was sore a few hours after we came home from the hospital, and then she just collapsed. “She wasn’t breathing. I tried giving her the kiss of life, while I was talking to the paramedics on the phone, and just screaming at her. “I just couldn’t believe it. It was years ago I did the training. You never think for a minute you’ll have to use it on your own daughter.” Student Shannon wanted to be a midwife, and was studying health and social care. Roger Goodwin, deputy head at her former school, said: “She clearly had a shining future ahead of her.”

An NHS Barnsley spokesperson said: “Our deepest condolences are with family and friends at this time. “Working closely with our local health partners, including Barnsley’s out-of-hours service provider which is based at the hospital, we will undertake a full review of the circumstances leading to this tragic event.”
