yes he needs to stop speaking to these people. We’ve seen how selective Sarah Knapton is in what she reports so I’m not convinced we are hearing everything Dewi actually said.

Mark McDonald is saying they now have evidence of a bowel obstruction
View attachment 3200492 q
Yet professor Arthur Owens said there was no such marker and was not found post mortem. so where has this new ‘evidence’ come from? Some ‘expert’ who’s read something on Twitter?

They went into this on the File on 4 Podcast, talking about the bowel obstruction. They spoke to someone there, I imagine that is the expert they are referring to. I'll listen again.

Ok if you want to listen it's about 16 mins in. I was fancy and got my phone to transcribe it. I made some corrections but I couldn't be bothered to correct Letbys name!

Each baby, that died or was harmed was given a letter of the alphabet. So, their families couldn't be identified. We've been looking at the case of baby C. A boy who was born in June 2015, 10 weeks. Premature and weighing just under two pounds.
Let B was found guilty of deliberately injecting air into the child's stomach via his feeding tube. Key to the prosecution's case was the baby C was stable. And that his collapsed at almost four days old had been unexpected. But five different neonatologists have told File on 4 there were signs Vaby C was in trouble before then.
I'm Colin Morley. I've been a pediatrician for about 50 years. And specialize towards the end in the care of sick babies, particularly premature babies. I worked in adenbrook's hospital in the University of Cambridge. Done quite a lot of research related to breathing problems. And I went to Melbourne for 10 years, as professor of neonatal medicine.
Professor Morley is a world-renowned expert in neonatology. This is the first time he's spoken about the Letby case. He didn't attend the trial, but he's reviewed the evidence heard in court about the care that Baby C received.
Baby C was an extremely small baby, so this baby really needed intensive care. The baby was not in the right hospital. The baby started vomiting black fluid, bile probably with digested blood. That's a very serious sign. Although, they didn't seem to appreciate that. And the x-rays show dilated bowel, with lot of gas, particularly in the stomach and the upper intestine. I think they failed to recognize that the baby had a bowel obstruction, which was causing the problems. And that needed urgent surgical opinion and probably surgery to save the baby's life.
You're saying quite clearly. Here, you believe this baby died of natural causes. How confident are you of that?
I'm very confident because of what I've read, bile stone vomiting, that means intestinal obstruction, until not proved the x-ray showing the distended bowel. That means bowel obstruction. And I don't see any reason to come up with a very strange hypothesis that somebody forced gas into the stomach through the nasogastric tube enough to kill the baby. There was plenty other things going on. That would mean the baby wasn't gonna survive if he didn't have the proper treatment.
Baby C's size and prematurity, put him at the limit of what the Countess of Chester could care for. Professor Morley, says, a consultant should have been examining this child several times a day.
This baby certainly should have had higher level of care, the tricky, and they deteriorate. And you need to be able to keep an eye on things. To see what's going on. The consultant didn't see the baby for the first three days. He was seen by nurses and trainee. Doctors,
It was in the middle of Lucy Latby's night shift. The baby sea collapsed. Doctors tried to resuscitate him, but they couldn't.
This and other cases to do with Lucy. Let me I've looked at I got the feeling that the resuscitation was suboptimal. The people's skills were not. Up to the job of resuscitating A tiny baby like this. And that's not surprising. I mean it sounds very critical but this was a hospital that wasn't really set up for a baby as small and sick as this baby. By the time the baby was intubated. 20 minutes later. It would have deteriorated significantly.
This medical evidence was reviewed and peer-reviewed by a team of medical experts, pediatricians Radiologists and a pathologist. And it was considered in great detail. So it's quite a statement for you to make that. They've simply got it wrong.
Looking after and diagnosing very premature baby. 800 grams is extraordinarily tiny, they just were out of their depth. And instead of going for the diagnosis, Which, You know I just bile stone vomiting the baby's got intestinal obstruction don't need much more than that. The X-ray was absolutely classical of a baby who got the lower bowel obstruction.
The pathologist who took the stand for the prosecution said there was no bile obstruction found in the post-mortem.
Well, clinically the baby did have a bowel obstruction I'm devastated for the families. There's nothing worse than losing your precious baby. And they've been told that the baby was murdered by Lucy, let me which is awful. But, you know, my job is to Tell the truth about what I think has happened. I just don't believe this wild hypothesis based on no evidence whatsoever that somebody inflated the stomach enough to kill the baby.
