In May 2011, the Northern Territory Coroner, Greg Cavanagh, was forced to officially close Mount Bundy Cattle Station due to a death attributed to arsenic poisoning. What ensued was a series of events that brought into question the validity of two government investigations across two state borders that nearly destroyed a family and crippled their business.

@Brembelia 7 месяцев назад

I agree. This doctor is too lacks. All he did during the inquiry was to minimize his part and offer excuses. I'm disappointed in this Coroner. That doctor messed up badly, and if you listened to him closely, he practices medicine in a very cavalier way. He has no business being Senior Staff. He just doesn't come off as being someone who really wanted to become a doctor in the first place. He is a danger to his patients and hopefully the hospital holds him accountable with another doctor supervising him because he obviously can't be trusted to do a thorough job of anything; not even simple examinations.

@RohanGillett 7 месяцев назад

My husband went to hospital with severe stomach pain and was sweating hugely in a cordoned off bed…for four days in dreadful pain …they were treating him for poisoning as they could see that I was twenty years younger than him and the medics made an assumption.….he actually had peritonitis…and I am pleased to say that he lived through it.

My daughter suffered from a gastric tear which was quickly diagnosed and surgically repaired. The surgery saved her. I am so sorry that Ben was not properly diagnosed. It is a real tragedy and a travesty that should never have happened. I certainly hope the doctors, especially the senior doctor, and hospital have learned and changed how they approach these situations. I think there should have been a recommendation for mandatory second opinions from a senior doctor for all situations where a patient is not improving.

I'd like to tell Mr Cavanagh that a lot of people look at grieving parents and say to themselves "I don't know how they're managing to even drive to the shops because I'd be a mess." I said that too, more than once. And then I found out personally when my son died. And you realise that you have no choice. You DO go on. You HAVE to do things. Falling apart is not an option.

I found that too, when my son died. Your child’s life may have ended, but the world goes on, and so you have to too. Somehow. It’s so hard to even get yourself out of bed, to just take a breath. Your brain doesn’t want to think about anything other than the fact that your child is gone, and they’re not coming back. Ever. I had to learn to lean on others, and accept offers of help. 7 years later, and life is easier, and i’m functioning. And he is still gone.

Second story 7 years later: my husband wasn't feeling good for a month, i finally convinced him to go to U.C., we demanded a CT scan, we knew the drill by that point, if insurance pays 100%, doctors will order ct. My husband ended up having an emergency surgery. He had diverticulitis, his intestine had a hile, they removed that portion, he had a colostomy bag. He did have some complications, they put him in an induced coma. Finally after 52 days he made it home.❤

@viliabone1952 when they see that a patient has 100% coverage on their medical insurance, the doctors order a bunch of exams, they know they're going to get paid 100%. Our son was rushed to the ER by an ambulance, his throat was closed, they said croup (it wasn't),but they continued treating him like he had croup. Camera down his throat, and other different exams. The doctor decided to keep over night for observation. Another boy was there with the exact same symptoms, gave him some inhaler treatments, he sounded much worse than my son, but they sent him home. He didn't have insurance.

There's a reason for a 'mother's gut instinct' and she was right. Although there was many contributing factors, the gastrointestinal tear was the major cause of Ben's death from what it seems in this video and the specialist who didn't even go and do a physical examination should be held accountable for the lack or neglect to do his job in the correct way and timing of the diagnosis, shame on him!!! Ben still may never have survived but that's no excuse for any medical neglect!!

@lea-annetuaoi4132 8 месяцев назад

Leaving anyone, let alone a teenager in 9/10 abdominal pain for 17 hours without appropriate levels of analgesia, a thorough physical examination and an urgent CT Scan, is in my opinion, inexcusable. If I was the Coroner, I would have found the Physician at fault. Ben may have still died, I agree, but the medical and nursing care that night was appalling. All that doctor had to do was put his hands on Bens abdomen and he have instantly known he needed to get an urgent CT. Nursing staff should have been agitating and escalating the unresolved pain and worsening clinical condition. If the treating doctor appears to be not providing the appropriate level of care, the nurses can escalate to After-Hours Med Super, DON or Executive on call. Acute unrelieved pain, is a medical emergency and should be treated as such. I am so sorry Ben and his family had to go through this.

@deborahsimmons2414 8 месяцев назад

He was being asked if the high amount of pain over such a long period was a symptom of abdominal tearing. He said, "yes, but also could be other abdominal pathology". The issue that Doc wasnt getting was that he DID NOTHING. He didnt do any other abdominal pathology, so how could he know if it was a tear or otherwise. Sometimes the most intelligent people can also be the dumbest.

I'd be interested to know if the ranch Ben worked on for the day was ever investigated and looked at as the potential source. It wasnt never mentioned at all other than by his mum stating he became immediately sick after working there. Sending Bens parents and family light and love!💜

An Hour later I got told I have a tumour 120mm long and 88mm round which destroyed my right kidney as there was nothing left. I'm one of the lucky ones that survived Cancer, so that's why l question the doctors in Bens case. What a waste of a great young man's life. A simple Ct scan could have gone a long way in Bens health.

The doctor said he often didn't disturb patients on his rounds, but he was specifically called in to see Ben as things were going badly for him. Were the other staff just bringing him for no reason? Why are they so tight with scams and tests, especially wwhen there is clearly a very ill person in front if them?

From watching this, Cavanagh is a bleeding heart out of touch elite. He's the kind of judge that leaves us with monsters roaming the street.

I got that too. If someone's in the wrong, you gotta call it out. His outlook really helps no one other than himself

If this case highlights anything, it is that even with all the advances we have made in medicine, we are still at the mercy of senior doctors who believe they can't possibly be wrong. Also where there are insufficient facilities and experts on hand, mistakes will be made. We count ourselves lucky in the UK to have specialists close to hand when we need them but where the distance to the local clinic can be a days drive away they just aren't, and thats the reality here.

Such a simple solution would have saved Ben's life, with that much pain, a ct scan and the knife, find it strange that never happened, so pleased the coroner showed his feelings,as what a way it lose a loved one, the pain never stops, so you learn to live with it, all the best to the families involved ******* ...

26:30 the answer to this question is YES, the tare in Ben's stomach absolutely lead to the cause of death. If his stomach contents never leaked out into his abdomen then he never would have gotten a fungal infection would he have...? NO he wouldn't. The steroids lead to the tare in the 1st place so everything they were doing for poor Ben is what was killing him they didn't do anything right for that boy. This is a terrible thing for this family to have to live with then they took away any rights to any lawsuits they could possible have by "justifying" his COD.... JUST WRONG!!! RIH Ben ✌💜🙃🙏
