Woman, 20, died hours after GP told her it was flu

A 20-year-old woman collapsed and died from pneumonia just hours after being told by her GP that she had gastric flu.

Vicki Core was prescribed Motilium by the GP and told that she would start to feel better within 72 hours.

But the trainee hairdresser from Tallaght in Dublin collapsed in her parent’s home the following morning.
