An inquest has found there was a failure to appreciate sickle cell crisis symptoms in the death of 21-year-old Evan Nathan Smith. An inquest into the death of a 21-year-old in hospital has found his life could have been saved if doctors acted sooner. Evan Nathan Smith, from Walthamstow, has concluded that his death was the consequence of a sickle cell crisis in a patient with biliary infection. Evan died on April 25, 2019, at North Middlesex Hospital in Edmonton. At one point while being treated at the hospital Evan was so desperate for help that he rang 999 from his mobile phone to ask for oxygen because he was refused this by a nurse on his ward, the inquest heard.

Time moved slowly inside Suzanne White’s dirty grey Toyota four-wheel drive as she waited in line at a drive-through coronavirus testing site at Manly in Sydney’s north.
White, who lives in Dee Why, showed up at 9am on Friday for a test after a sleepless night spent “stressing” about what a positive result would mean for her family’s Christmas plans.
She had driven past the Manly testing centre before and it always looked empty so she thought she would be “clever” and beat the queues. By 3pm, after six hours in line, she didn’t feel so clever.
