A hospital has issued an apology over the death of a Mayo woman who died a few hours after laboratory staff failed to escalate abnormal blood test results in line with established procedures which would have alerted doctors to significant postoperative bleeding in the patient.
A verdict of medical misadventure was returned in the death of Eilis Cronin-Walsh (49) at St Vincent’s University Hospital on October 17, 2021.
