......
Luke Abrahams ...... felt unwell last month, and his GP at Penvale Medical Centre gave him antibiotics for tonsillitis.
......
Days later, the railway engineer began to deteriorate, prompting his parents to take him to the hospital.
However, Luke was sent home where his condition worsened before he begged his parents to call 999 saying he “couldn’t take the pain” any longer.
When Luke developed severe leg pain, spreading to his left buttock and leaving him unable to get out of bed, his mum rang 999.
Ms Needham insisted her son’s condition was critical, begging for an ambulance to be sent, but said her plea was refused.
Despite calling Penvale Medical Centre to organise transport to take him to A&E, no one called her back.
A post-mortem examination revealed Luke had been suffering from septicaemia, Lemierre syndrome – a form of bacterial infection, and necrotising fasciitis – a flesh-eating disease.
Luke’s parents Richard Abrahams, 60 and Julie Needham, 49, have now launched a legal bid claiming that a string of mistakes were made leading up to the 20-year-old’s death.
