5-year-old dies after being given 10 times amount of insulin in misdiagnosis

A British boy with autism died after being given 10 times the standard dose of insulin after bungling doctors misdiagnosed him with diabetes, his grieving parents have claimed.

Little Shay Turner, 5, was rushed to a hospital in Rotherham, Yorkshire, in March 2018 — but died four days later after suffering a catastrophic brain injury.

Parents Laura, 28, and Martyn, 29, claim doctors diagnosed him with diabetes instead of the sepsis that hospitalized him.

The couple is trying to raise 12,000 pounds to pay for lawyers to represent them at Shay’s inquest in October.

“So far nobody has told us the truth and we want to know what happened to our son,” Laura said.

That was more than a misdiagnosis that was tantamount to murder. If anyone had just actually looked at the syringe they would know it was massively too much. The amount of insulin I take a day is a very tiny amount. One small vial of insulin will hold me for 12 days, I can't understand how this happened.

Isn't there an attorney that would do this Pro Bono?

What a dapper wee lad!
The docs careers should be over and lose everything they have.
Or make them prison Dr's
