Sudden Tragic Death of David Davie.

My 46 year old Partner and best friend had a medical event at home suffering with chest pain and shortness of breath. I went with him to the doctor who said it was probably just a virus even after he explained about his chest pain shortness of breath. The doctor took his heart rate it was 190 which I thought was not normal but the doctor still said was just a virus.

She did not take a blood pressure or do a proper exam just listened to his heart and lung sounds. Less then two weeks later I came home from work to find him passed away on the couch at home. My son heard my cries to come and also see what had happened. This is something we will never forget. This was the worst day of our family’s lives. The coroners finding was a Pulmonary thromboembolism, blood clot in the artery that feeds the lungs. I believe with proper treatment and tests when he first visited the doctor it could have been easily treated and he would have survived. The medical centre is currently under investigation because of his death.

We are fundraising for his funeral expenses. To help support the family during this difficult time. My wish is to also get this properly investigated so no other family has to go through this. At the very least to make sure the medical centre and doctor is held accountable for what happened, the doctors need more care and attention to each and every patient to prevent this happening ever again.
