Did you see today in the news that LucyLetby originally failed her nursing training.

Reason: Lack of empathy

How many and which babies died on milestone dates? And what were the milestones?

Genuinely asking as I don’t know.

Anything can be a milestone date if you look for it.

HollyKnight · 19/10/2024 19:16

Quitelikeit · 19/10/2024 19:14

she had done her placement there so the ward manager based her beliefs on that

So you think everyone else lied then? That she wasn't failed during her final nursing placement? That she didn't make medication errors? That she wasn't given further training?

Quitelikeit · 19/10/2024 19:38

@HollyKnight

I believe Letby is guilty I think you have got your wires crossed

Dont forget all the babies collapsed on days ending in "Y". That can't be coincidence. Clearly she did it.

The police thought she’d written code in her diary about the “murders” until they realised LD meant long day.

That says it all about most of the posters questioning the convictions on this forum.

And no-one should have to.spoon feed you.

So you don’t know then.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Quitelikeit · 19/10/2024 20:02

LD could mean anything despite what she said it meant

It’s not about what she said, it’s that countless nurses have said, ‘wtf? That’s the standard abbreviation for long day!’
The fact the police missed this and decided it was LO for little one doesn’t give you a lot of faith in their thoroughness.

Quitelikeit · 19/10/2024 20:16

I think that’s harsh. Thousands of man hours were spent pulling this case together at great expense

To hone in on one thing seems unhelpful

You think the extraordinary expense means we should turn a blind eye to the obvious incompetence? Personally what it makes me think is just what a massive, massive waste of public money.

It’s not just that is it, it’s the bizarre nature of the police investigation that only investigated 1 person for murder rather than the whole unit, on the say so of some doctors with a vested interest in the case. Then there’s the dodgy stats chart which isn’t even accurate, the dodgy medical investigator cum expert witness whom the police had to ask to stop talking to the media, the wrong switch data and the complete lack of plausible scientific evidence.

They spent £10 million on a witch hunt that will eventually be quashed.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 19/10/2024 20:53

They might have wasted less money if they’d taken the advice of experts like Prof Jane Hutton who they dismissed because she wouldn’t give them the easy answers they were looking for.

@Mirabai

what is your issue with the insulin?

you understand that the child kept crashing and was being given glucose to no effect?

you understand once the bag was removed and replaced with another there was a remarkable recovery?

even if the other test was done you would still come on here and say it could have been a different nurse

you just don’t want to believe that justice can be served unless there’s cctv or a eye witness!

One child had prolonged hypoglycaemia and was simply given 10% dextrose with no evidence this was improving the bg into the normal range. The standard treatment would be to increase the background glucose concentration 10-12-14-15% + consider glucagon, hydrocortisone or diazoxide.

As soon as the dextrose was increased to 15% the bg normalised.

However it is correct to say that if, in the unlikely event the TPN bag was tampered with, there is zero evidence to link that to LL in particular.

If LL miraculously lace the very bag that the next nurse would randomly choose from the storeroom and no others (as there were no other random high insulin readings from other babies at that point) then she may have randomly picked out a laced TPN bag herself.

To be fair, it was the prosecution who dismissed Hutton, which is very odd.

Yet people pick the same few consistently.

HazelPlayer · 19/10/2024 21:09

That is completely at odds with how their investigation has been described and outlined.

But that's already been covered in previous threads, as you know, since you're posted prolifically on all of them.

HazelPlayer · 19/10/2024 21:11

Lol.

Keep dreaming.

@Mirabai

Letby denied being aware Child F had problems with his blood sugar - despite evidence that she texted a colleague about it.
Manchester Crown Court was read a transcript of Letby's police interview, where she told officers she was not aware the infant had problems with his blood sugar.
"You were aware though, weren't you, at the time?" prosecutor Nick Johnson asks.
"No," says Letby.
But the court was then shown a WhatsApp conversation between Letby and her colleague on 5 August 2015.
Letby: Did you hear what Child F's sugar was at 8?
Letby: 1.8
[Colleague]: S*!!!

so even though Letby was again caught in a lie you still continue to defend her! There was numerous lies

HazelPlayer · 19/10/2024 21:13

You're the one who gave a zealous, neat account of how the consultants on the ward all scape goated Letby.
And everyone else involved in the trial and investigation has been fooled by them.

The fact that you could even state that with a "straight face" .....

Quitelikeit · 19/10/2024 21:14

They interviewed many staff members before they identified a single attacker - how would you know the course of their investigation?

FGS you just take snippets to suit your narrative

I cannot find any detail anywhere about the milestone dates. Is this something you saw on Reddit?

HazelPlayer · 19/10/2024 21:15

They're starting to rival the number of stars in the universe.

The inquiry is only showing more, in black and white.

No they proudly told us how they divided up the cases between different detectives but they’re never explained why a murder reported by a bunch of people with a vested interest in the outcome were not also investigated themselves as they would be in any other case.

The first step if murder was suspected in a hospital would be to interview every single person who works on the unit including the cleaners and security.

Can you imagine a bunch of teachers reporting the deaths of some of their students handing the police a rota of one of their teaching assistants and the police not bothering to investigate anyone else.
