Boy died because doctors ignored his mother's maternal instinct

Boy died because doctors ignored his mother: Instinct told Jane that her son was gravely ill - but she was dismissed as hysterical

As 13-month-old Bobby Bushell (pictured above two months before his death) screamed in pain in a Doncaster Royal Infirmary waiting room, one nurse even suggested his parents wheel him around in a buggy as he was 'a bit loud'. The appalling standard of care he received has been laid bare after his parents won a five-figure sum in damages from the hospital trust. His mother, Jane Hooks (inset), said doctors 'arrogantly' dismissed her concerns that he was suffering from meningitis.
