A man with Alexander’s Disease died from sepsis after 34 hours of delayed IV antibiotics at Bassetlaw Hospital, an avoidable tragedy due to care failures.
A 45-year-old man with Alexander’s Disease died from sepsis after waiting 34 hours for IV antibiotics at Bassetlaw Hospital, an investigation found.
Despite repeated requests from paramedics, care staff, and his mother for IV treatment—due to a urinary tract infection resistant to oral drugs—hospital staff delayed care, administered antibiotics at half the correct dose, and failed to act on electronic test results.
The ombudsman concluded the death was avoidable, citing poor communication, disregard for family concerns, and systemic delays in sepsis care.
The NHS trust apologized, offered compensation, and pledged to improve antibiotic protocols.
