The coroner's concerns
1. inadequate surgical notes
“Following surgery the surgeon prepared a note of his operation for the medical records. it was anticipated that [the deceased] may, in the future, require further surgery. The note of the surgery was unsatisfactory and failed to set out:- (a) The position of the ventricular septal defect ("VSD") and how it was enlarged; (b) A full description of the VSD; (c) The position of the tricuspid valve; (d) The techniques that were used by the surgeon himself.”
