Fit 22-year-old son died in hospital with suspected sepsis despite his doctor mother’s desperate plea for life-saving antibiotics, inquest hears

A fit and healthy 22-year-old man died in hospital with suspected sepsis after medics repeatedly failed to act on his doctor mother’s desperate pleas for life-saving antibiotics, an inquest heard.

Nursing staff and medics treating William Hewes did not ensure he was given the appropriate medication, long after it was deduced he was suffering from the potentially fatal condition.
