Exclusive: Fury after hospital sends heart attack mum home to die
Aug 3 2009

A
MUM suffering chest pains died in front of her young son hours after
being sent home from hospital and told to take painkillers.
Debra Beavers, 39, phoned NHS 24 twice in two days before getting a
hospital appointment. But a doctor gave what her family described as a
cursory examination lasting 11 minutes, before advising her to buy
over-the-counter medicine Ibuprofen.
Family members claim the medic was abrupt and rude - and when Debra
clutched her chest, he told her: "Your heart is on the other side."
Seven hours later, the mum-of-two collapsed and died from a heart attack in front of her 13-year-old boy.
