Ah yes another 'system failure' what a shock. Hope they throw the book at whoever discharged him.

words: legal action. Sue em into next century.

fucking heartbreaking man. That poor mum raised concerns and still got sent home. System is broken.

Tom Harris2026-06-29T06:14:24.000Z

Yep until a lawsuit hits HDC will just keep saying 'we'll do better'. Pathetic.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-29T06:30:24.000Z

talks. Until then, nothing.

happened at my hospital last month. We're all waiting for the inevitable.

Honestly this makes me sick. That poor mother did everything right and the system failed her. Justice for that little boy 💔

Reese Morgan2026-06-29T06:51:24.000Z

Yeah nah this is a load of crap. How many times we gotta read these stories before something actually changes?

Chloe Martin2026-06-29T06:59:24.000Z

Wonder if HDC will actually name the hospital this time or just vague it up as usual.

Jack Morrison2026-06-29T07:42:24.000Z

won't. Watch. Generic PR statement incoming.
