CRUCIAL ‘CONFESSION’ THEY WANTED TO DELETE
Dr Margrid Baby Ben’s parents Allyn and Jenny Condon met Dr Paul Mannix,
to give Schindler and manager Julie Vass to discuss hospital’s failure
table to record life-saving antibiotics to their son. Allyn put his phone on the the conversation, the medical team used a dictaphone
WHEN EVERYONE IS IN ROOM
Allyn: ..We’ve been lied to along the way, we’ve been misled with information
Jenny: We didn’t get told how he [Ben] died for seven weeks. It’s disgusting
ALLYN AND JENNY LEAVE ROOM FOR BREAK
PM: But Margrid they are absolutely right. MS: They’ve got a point. Erm... PM: These are not bolshy… misinformed parents are they?
Doctors realise their dictaphone is still recording
MS: Is there any possibility of taking off that last...
JV: ...part of that? I’ll go back when we finish and take that out
MS: I just forgot that it was still recording, erm, ‘cause …that could get us into difficulty
Dr Mannix realises Allyn’s phone is still recording
PM (whispers): This is recording JV: I don’t know how to do it without deleting the whole thing
MS (speaking openly): The difficulty is though you know with infants and infection is that even if we had treated it earlier it’s not to guarantee that the outcome would have been different.
Dr Mannix tries to muffle Allyn’s phone
PM: …. I struggle to see why he wasn’t given antibiotics, if on the Tuesday they’ve said, ‘if he gets worse give him some antibiotics’
ALLYN AND JENNY COME BACK IN
PM (holding Allyn’s phone) : ...I should have realised that this was on. I don’t know how to stop it Jenny: ...Is it saved? Allynn: ...I don’t know PM: No, I didn’t touch any buttons, I just put my fingers over the microphone
