'GP said our girl had tonsillitis - the doctor got it wrong, 16 hours later she died'

Parlament

The relatives of a young girl who passed away 16 hours after a GP incorrectly diagnosed her with tonsillitis are now campaigning for legislative reform. The 'caring, kind and beautiful' toddler developed diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and a gastrointestinal bleed. However, just hours before, a GP had informed her parents it was tonsillitis, despite her displaying warning signs associated with the fatal condition including an increased number of wet nappies, extreme fatigue and heightened thirst.
