€90k awarded to mother after son’s death
Ayobamidele Akanji Murphy, the High Court heard, was admitted to the Co Kildare hospital with chest pains and shortness of breath on Feb 2, 2010 but was dead by the next morning.
John O’Mahony SC told Ms Justice Mary Irvine his medical experts would say the blood clot blockage should have been diagnosed and medical staff should have picked up on the signals. Counsel said the medical experts would say if there had been a cardiac echo and the administration of anti-coagulants such as herparin the likelihood of saving the young computer engineering student’s life was between 82% to 97%.
