The parents of Ryleigh Hillcoat-Bee, a three-year-old who died of a rare condition, are left outraged after learning their daughter\u2019s life could be saved.<\/p>\n

The little girl suffered from rhabdomyolysis, a disorder that breaks down muscles. She died of complications from the condition that affects one in 200,000 people in the UK.<\/p>\n

Coroner Alan Wilson for Blackpool and Fylde determined that the doctors who treated her failed to notice the \u201cred flags\u201d before discharging her from the hospital after a five-day stay.<\/p>\n

They had missed opportunities to closely examine Ryleigh\u2019s lack of mobility prior to her discharge. She passed away three months later.<\/h2>\n

Doctors should have been aware that the girl\u2019s deteriorating physical state could be linked with a neuromuscular problem.<\/p>\n

According to reports, when she was admitted into Blackpool Victoria Hospital, doctors ran tests and her blood results showed abnormal readings, including \u2018extraordinarily high\u2019 levels of Creatine Kinase, likely indicating a muscle injury or disease. Despite this, doctors determined the girl suffered from a chest infection or hepatitis. She appeared slow, floppy, and lethargic.<\/p>\n

Coroner Wilson confirmed to request evidence from the doctors involved in Ryleigh\u2019s care at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, as reported by\u00a0Blackpool Gazette<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Medical negligence attorney Diane Rostron noted, \u201cThe hospital was given clear advice\u2026 to get specialist advice from a neuromuscular specialist.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Rostron, had the hospital sought specialist input, they could have \u201cdiagnosed rhabdomyolysis\u201d and informed the family, allowing them to explore further treatment options.<\/p>\n

We are so very sorry for the loss of Ryleigh Hillcoat-Bee. We hope her family will find the closure they deserve. May she rest in peace.<\/p>\n
