A young patient who died of dehydration at a leading teaching hospital phoned police from his bed because he was so thirsty, an inquest heard yesterday.
Officers arrived at Kane Gorny's bedside, but were told by nurses that he was in a confused state and were sent away.
The keen footballer and runner, 22, died of dehydration a few hours later.
A coroner had such grave concerns about the case that she referred it to police.
Yesterday an inquest was told how Mr Gorny died after blunders and neglect by 'lazy and careless' medical staff at St George's Hospital in Tooting, South London.
His mother Rita Cronin, a civil servant told Westminster Coroner's Court that staff tutted at her and repeatedly refused to listen to her concerns that her son hadn't been given vital medication.
At one point he became so desperate and upset that staff sedated and restrained him – and on the night before his death, his mother said, he was not checked on by medical staff, despite being in a room on his own.
Following his death, a nurse allegedly inquired whether the family, from Balham, South-West London, was 'finished' and asked a matron in front of them whether she could 'bag him up'.
Mr Gorny, who worked in Waitrose and was training to be a locksmith and shoe repairer, had survived a malignant brain tumour in 2008.
The cancer affected his pituitary gland, which controls the body's mechanisms, such as fluid levels. Part of his treatment included a course of steroids to regulate the fluid levels in his body. These drugs, however, weakened his bones and he was in hospital for a routine hip replacement.
Doctors told him that, without regular medication to control his fluid levels, he would die.

“Free” health care in action.
British tax dollars at work.
Obamacare -> Shovel-ready jobs (for cemetery workers)
Coming to a health facility near you soon.
Thanks Obama and Roberts, this is what I can expect! Oh wait, all I have to do is vote the right people in and they will protect me, right.
“Paging Nurse Obama!You are late for your next death panel meeting”/sarc
Now you know the real reason guns are illegal in England.
They have the gumption to restrain him and sedate him, but not go give him fluids.
So they do not automatically give patients IV’s to keep them hydrated in the UK. That is truly frightening. This is what is coming our way.
There is absolutely no excuse for this. It seems like there is a horror story coming out of Europes hospitals every day.
Ok, there may be a few downsides to SocialistCare, but remember, it’s free!
He called Herman Cain???
“Ok, there may be a few downsides to SocialistCare, but remember, it’s free!”
What’s the old adage? You get what you pay for? Or it’s worth what you pay for?......
This reminded me of treatment given at some VA hospitals.I have first-hand experience.
But Terri Schiavo answered.
Comming soon to America...
Obama care...Direct Death decisions by our friendly Staff!
Obama will have you “Shovel ready in No Time”
Why Waste Health care Money on You?...You aren’t even a Democrat.
So how will Americans handle these kinds of situations because this is what will be coming to us. We adjusted to the abuse of our children by the Union teacher thugs in government schools and I imagine we will sit by while Union nurse and doctor thugs ‘progress’ to neglegect, murder and abuse our family members at government hospitals.
As the public schools dove into the sh!thole we said, ‘homeschool’! What are we going to say when our assigned medical staff and hospital is like the worst public schools.
Water rationing
Gotta love those death panels.
