A baby girl died from a rare cancer after doctors repeatedly missed signs of her illness, a sheriff has ruled.
Jessi-Jean MacLennan passed away in Glasgow's Royal Hospital for Children in November 2019 aged 20 months. She had been battling a form of kidney cancer known as Wilms' tumour, a rare childhood condition with fewer than 50 cases per year in the UK.
Current research shows that even advanced stage Wilms' tumour has a cure rate of 85 percent. The Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain said her death gave rise to 'serious' public concern and ordered a fatal accident be held at Inverness Sheriff Court.
Sheriff Eilidh MacDonald has now ruled medics failed to properly recognise her illness after her mother Sara raised the alarm about her condition. Mrs MacLennan had noticed Jessi's appetite had decreased in July 2019 and took her to Culloden surgery in Inverness with her concerns which also included a high temperature.
Dr Toby Gilbertson examined her on October 3 but took no further action before Jessi was seen a further four times by doctors over persistent symptoms which included a lump on the left of her stomach and a blood clot in her nappy. At one point, Mrs MacLennan, a mother-of-three, had contacted NHS 24 and Jessi was seen by Dr Abdul Jabber Bhutto at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness who said she was suffering from constipation.
In November 2019, Jessi collapsed at home after vomiting and was found to be 'blue, cold and unresponsive' by paramedics and taken by air ambulance to Glasgow. She passed away days later in hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest on November 25.
Expert witness Dr Norman Wallace wrote a report for the inquiry and stated Jessi should have been referred for specialist treatment at the start of October 2019
