The coroner's concerns
1. haemorrhagic stroke
“Patients who are provided with anti-coagulant therapy are at an increased risk of the development of haemorrhagic strokes. There appears to be no system in place to provide patients with literature setting out the symptoms of a bleed on the brain and the steps that patients should take in response.”
