The coroner's concerns
1. misdiagnosis of necrotising fasciitis
“The symptoms listed all relate to a cut or wound. In [the deceased]'s case there was no wound and the website entry does not make it clear that the condition can present as intense/disproportionate pain without any noticeable skin changes or wound. This gives rise to a concern as the website is frequently used by member of the public and is often shared by healthcare professionals when providing advice to patients.”
