The coroner's concerns
1. sub-optimal asthma management
“The management of asthma by the general practitioner on 9th March 2012, when she presented post-operatively with fast breathing and anxiety, was sub-optimal and creates potential risks for other patients”
2. inappropriate diazepam prescription
“The prescription of Diazepam, although it did no harm in this instance, was poor treatment for anxiety, it should not be prescribed in sleep apnoea; and ideally should be avoided in respiratory distress”
