A 7-year-old girl in Wales died after a doctor mistakenly diagnosed the child with having a stomach bug, the family alleged. According to the parents, the girl was given medication, but days later, she died from a blood clot in her heart.
Isabellaann Battiscombe, from Cardiff, was unwell for about two weeks before her death. She was being sick and we thought she had a tummy bug. I took her to the doctors the next day and that doctor said it s a tummy bug, go home, give her some Calpol and maybe paracetamol, the child s mother, Janine, 40, told Wales Online. She started being more unwell. She didn t want to get up, she even asked her daddy if he could pick her up to go to the toilet and I said there s something wrong here.
