An inquest into the death of a Bury St Edmunds woman who died following a fall in a care home has been adjourned.
Luise Walpole was admitted to West Suffolk Hospital in October 2020 with acute subdural haemorrhage, a blood clot, Suffolk Coroners Court heard on Friday, May 14.
Mrs Walpole, 86, was discharged back into the care home, senior coroner Nigel Parsley was told, and scheduled for a scan in the coming weeks.
She was then found on the floor of the care home, the court also heard, and developed sepsis.
She was kind, caring and considerate. For anyone who knew her, I can guarantee it was an honour for them. She was simply amazing.
Ms Buckenham first visited her GP at the Alexandra Surgery, in Lowestoft, on September 18, around a week after the fall, where she was sent for tests at the James Paget University Hospital.
A follow-up phone consultation took place on September 29, which found no symptoms of infection.
Senior coroner Nigel Parsley said: When we look back at her treatment, with the benefit of hindsight, it is obvious antibiotics could have been administered earlier. However, it is also a fact that clinicians can only go on the findings of their examinations at the time.
