Three months after being discharged from A&E, a three-year-old girl passed away due to medical professionals’ “missed opportunities” to identify her unusual condition.

When Ryleigh Hillcoat-Bee fell ill while on holiday in North Wales with her family, she was sent to the hospital.

Potassium and creatine kinase were “extraordinarily high” in the small girl’s blood.

The symptoms and indicators suggest a severe muscle issue. along with rhabdomyolysis. In spite of this, Ryleigh was discharged from the hospital.

Three months later, she was having problems breathing, so her parents, Caroline and Andrew, hurried her back to A&E.

She suffered a heart attack in Blackpool Victoria Hospital on Monday, November 8, 2021, and passed away.

At an inquest held last week, Blackpool’s district coroner, Alan Wilson, stated that there had been multiple “missed opportunities” to investigate Ryleigh’s limited mobility prior to her August release.

In the interest of Ryleigh’s parents, “The hospital was given clear advice from colleagues in Leeds during Ryleigh’s admission in August 2021 to get specialist advice from a neuromuscular specialist,” stated Diane Rostron, a medical negligence attorney.

“They could have diagnosed rhabdomyolysis and received guidance on treating a flare-up if they had done that.” The hospital would have informed Ryleigh’s parents with this information after determining what was wrong with her, allowing them to investigate further.

On November 8, 2021, Riley passed away, barely three months after being discharged from the hospital nearly three years prior to her birth.”
