'She deserved so much more': Mother's heartbreak after watching schoolgirl, 13, die in 'absolute agony' after hospital failings
Daily MailA heartbroken mother of a 13-year-old girl, who died in 'unbearable pain' from sepsis after being dismissed by staff as a 'diva teen', has said her daughter 'deserved so much more'. Chloe Longster, 13, of Market Harborough, Leicestershire, is pictured with her mother Louise Chloe Longster, 13, died from sepsis after delays in her care after being dismissed by staff as a 'dramatic teenage' an inquest heard The 13-year-old was admitted to a children's ward at Kettering General Hospital after experiencing severe pain in her lower ribcage and cold-like symptoms The teenager, a 'cherished' IVF baby and keen dancer, had been sniffly with a cough the weekend prior to her death but had been well enough to attend a sleepover. Despite the young girl's condition, Mrs Longster said she felt as though she was having to 'convince' hospital staff of how unwell her daughter was. Chloe was diagnosed with pneumonia and died less than 19-hours after being admitted to the ward Her mother Louise Longster said she repeatedly asked medics for help but was treated as a 'mum who had been on Google ' while her daughter was dismissed as a 'diva teen' 'In what situation does shouting at anybody or being that dismissive help the situation?' The grieving mother also raised worries about how babies and non-verbal individuals were being treated if staff couldn't 'drum up enough empathy for a child as easy as Chloe' When on the children's ward, Mrs Longster said she had to repeatedly ask doctors for more pain relief for her daughter.
