Dear Supporters,

Thank you for signing this petition. I don’t think of it as my petition. I don’t think of it as my petition but as my Mother’s petition. 

Mum passed in November 2018 but, still, at times, I cannot quite believe she is no longer with us. She helped so many people yet not only was she full of wisdom she had humility. 

Mum missed out on a lot of formal education due to ongoing illness as a child. She spent much of her childhood in a nursing home in Kent, run by nuns. She had auditory dyslexia, which wasn’t discovered until late in life. Yet after starting as a sales cashier she became a department store manager. She was an excellent dress maker, dancer, and singer, and our home was like a counselling centre, not only did she listen to others she also took people in to live with us on a few occasions.. She had a cheeky and quick witted sense of humour, detested being put into an age category, and had friends of all ages. She loved pop music, jazz, and opera.

A few days before her passing she said: “Lorraine, please get me out of here” it’s my regret I wasn’t able to. 

Mum took my two young sons and I into her home for five years when unfortunate circumstances made us homeless and penniless, helping to support us through nine years of court cases, [my dear father too, of course]. 

My Mother had medical conditions but she wasn’t dying of them when put on the outlawed Liverpool Care Plan, by falsified medical records. 

I believe it was the sudden cessation of all her long-term medication (even those dangerous to abruptly stop), the dehydration, and the combination. of morphine and Midazolam that caused the changed heart rhythm and her death.

For three to four days she was sedated to the extent she could no longer see or communicate with her family. She would have hated that.

On the final day I observed frothy fluid (coming up from her lungs I guess)… drowning must have been a terrible experience for a lifelong claustrophobic.

The registrar who arranged this death certified Mum died of Aspirate Pneumonia, Dementia, Frailty. The coroner concluded she died of a changed heart rhythm. 

Both the doctor and coroner refused to remove dementia, although family and friends all disputed it. Mum May have had the start of mild dementia but she certainly did not die of it. In my opinion it’s more likely that some of what was taken as dementia was her dyslexia, PTSD from years of an intolerable situation before she died, and her sometimes silly answers to what she perceived (and complained about) continually being asked silly questions.. such as “Do you know your name?”, “Do you know where you are?”

Sadly, Mum never got to see the most beautiful moments she had helped, by her support, bring about… her Grandson’s wedding, and another Grandson’s graduation. 

The hospital PALS team, the PHSO, and the GMC have never investigated the doctor who lied to us, who forged medical records, and who put Mum on the outlawed Liverpool Care Plan. 

Thank you for your continued support.
