A man died after four telephone consultations with his GP surgery but no face-to-face assessment.

"I have no formal medical training other than first aid," Andrew said. "But if I was to identify a picture of someone who was dying..."

Andrew added: "He made numerous attempts to access treatment and there were so many opportunities where, had he been seen face-to-face, things would have been different." In documents seen by Newsnight, an independent GP expert who has looked at the case in detail said there were "several points in time where David should have been reviewed face to face".

"We have investigated the family's complaint regarding their son's treatment within primary care and provided them with a response", it said in a statement.

This is so sad 😞 😔

This is heartbreaking, none should die f an ear infection. Terrible service from the GP

Absolutely disgusting, Getting fobbed off from the NHS during Covid became the norm , Yet they were treated like heroes for doing very little, My personal highlight was a physio appointment over the telephone..twice..

That’s awful reading that story. It’s so hard to speak to a GP let alone see one face to face. I keep getting the nurse practitioner and I don’t feel that this is good enough.

David's wife or mum, BBCHealth? 'His wife, Anne, said: 'It's been appalling care. I think they've completely let David down… at every single point. 'I am absolutely convinced, as David's mum, that if he'd been seen on that last consultation, he would still be with us today.''

Prosecuting pregnancy loss: Why advocates fear a post-Roe surge of chargesFor Chelsea Becker, a fourth pregnancy at 25 years old was complicated from the start, challenged by her homelessness and an addiction to methamphetamine. It ended in a stillbirth, a murder charge and more than 16 months behind bars in California. Worthless dope addicts deserve zero sympathy. Meth addict with multiple children should be ashamed of herself. So she’s a drug addict and her drug use killed her baby and they want to try and make this about roe V Wade. Maybe she needs to get help for her drug use and stop having children if she can’t get her drug use under control. So, if she killed a Fetus how can she be charged with Murder of a Baby?
