“Craig was walking round for three months with a ticking time bomb in his head. He could’ve gone in five minutes, he could’ve lasted 10 years, nobody knew,” Dennis Green said. <\/p>\n
In July, he said his son collapsed at his home in West Heath in front of his partner of 20 years and their children and was rushed to the QE. <\/p>\n
“The doctor treating him on the night came in and said, ‘Craig’s aneurysm’s burst’ and we all went, ‘what aneurysm?’. Every single person in there looked shocked”, Dennis Green said. <\/p>\n
A letter sent from the QE to Craig Green’s family in the days after his death, stated that, while the hearing loss was unrelated, “the aneurysm was ultimately the underlying cause of the severe brain haemorrhage that Mr Green subsequently suffered”. <\/p>\n
On the record of inquest, it was concluded that Craig Green had died of natural causes and noted that “a post-incident NHS investigation concluded that the failure to refer [him] appropriately did not contribute to his death”.<\/p>\n
“It may not have contributed to his death but he had a right to know,” Craig Green’s sister Sarah said.<\/p>\n
” [We] just feel let down by people we should trust. <\/p>\n
“We go to the doctors with our health and we think we can trust them and obviously we’ve been let down and Craig’s been let down.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Craig was walking round for three months with a ticking time bomb in his head.
