‘We’ll suffer for the rest of our lives’

-

THE daughter of the late Brian Sinclair has told of the moment her dad turned to her as they left the hospital and said “they are sending me home to die”.

Gillian, 40, told of Brian’s trip to A&E — saying that her father had repeatedly told doctors he “felt like he was dying” and compared his treatment to that of “an animal”.

And she spoke of her anguish that her dad will never have the chance to meet her son.

Gillian said: “I have had a baby since he died.

“It just breaks my heart knowing that he won’t ever know him.

“We will suffer from this for the rest of our lives.

“He even told the doctor he felt like he was dying.

“The doctor was telling a junior doctor what to do and she kept going back and forth asking questions.

“Dad should have been physically examined.

“If they had done that then they would have realised that it wasn’t an issue with his back.

“They didn’t even physically examine him, he was told to press on his own body — he was anywhere.

“He was in the hospital — all the signs were there. If he hadn’t been there then it might have been hit or miss but he was there in the hospital.

“They didn’t do their job properly.

“Now I have lost my dad and my kids have lost their granddad.” just pressing
