Caring dad dies after muscle pain diagnosis turned out to be deadly illness

Man who died after heart problem was dismissed as anxiety was seen by physician’s associate
October 22, 2023
A 25-year-old who died from a heart hemorrhage after being diagnosed with a panic attack had been seen by a non-medical school trained physician associate (PA) but not a doctor, it has emerged. Ben Peters, 25, attended the emergency department at Manchester Royal Infirmary on the morning of 11 Nov 2022 with chest pain, arm ache, a sore throat and shortness of breath. While waiting, he endured a “severe episode of vomiting”. Peters was diagnosed with a panic attack and gastric inflammation by the PA and sent home with two medications, after a supervising consultant, who the coroner found never reviewed the patient in person, agreed with the diagnosis. Less than 24 hours later, Peters died from a rare complication of the heart that had resulted in a tear of the heart’s major artery, known as aortic dissection, and led to a fatal hemorrhage.
Note: According to the Mayo Clinic, “Aortic dissection is relatively uncommon. It usually occurs in men in their 60s and 70s.”

Gracie Tudor was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma in March, with the plucky two-year-old going on to face numerous rounds of chemotherapy and eight-and-a-half-hour surgery to remove a tumour on her right adrenal gland. Treatment continued with high-dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, with her parents Claire Jones and Stephen Tudor saying she'd "smashed" the first session. But earlier this month, the Kingswinford family were given the devastating news that Gracie had relapsed and said they'd made the "heartbreaking decision to bring her home on palliative care".

Thanks Mark.
