Kirsty Hendry was just 31 when she died in April. An inquest has heard how her mother hit out at the care she received at Tameside General Hospital in Greater Manchester. It was alleged that doctors had wrongly dismissed Kirsty's condition as being linked to cannabis use, illegal drug use and her mental health. A number of hospital trust policies weren't followed after her admission in April, the inquest at Stockport Coroner's Court was told. Kirsty suffered a burst brain aneurysm and developed a subarachnoid haemorrhage, bleeding in areas surrounding the brain. The inquest heard that CT scan was wrongly interpreted by a radiologist as well as 'missed' evidence of a bleed on her brain, reports Manchester Evening News. However, it was said that the outcome for her 'would not have changed'. Kirsty was described as 'desperately unwell' when she was taken to Tameside General on April 3 - she died on April 11 at Salford Royal Hospital, where she had been transferred to five days earlier. The coroner also said the 'severity of her condition' did 'not appear to have been recognised' by an ambulance crew called to her home in Dukinfield, Tameside, earlier. By that time, she had entered a 'vasospasm period', where arteries narrow and restrict blood flow to the brain, which causes brain tissue to die. Giving evidence at the inquest Angela Hendry claimed after being admitted to Tameside, staff dismissed her daughter's condition as being down to cannabis use, mental health and illegal drugs. She said: "She just kept staring at us. It was like the lights were on but no one was at home. "She did not know what she was doing. She could not communicate with anyone." Mrs He){kind=link}
