When Ricky Hampson Jr's nephew heard about his death, the young boy asked his mum: "If I go to hospital, will they save me?"
The 36-year-old Kamilaroi-Dunghutti man, also known as Dougie, died on August 16, 2021, from two perforated duodenal ulcers less than 24 hours after being discharged from Dubbo hospital, in western NSW.
Nushaj said "coginitive bias" influenced the error, as he had treated other patients with the condition and recognised Hampson Jr's symptoms of agitation and pain."It is a matter of deep regret," Nushaj told the coroner last week. "Instead, he was a young man and died alone in unimaginable pain and suffering because of a system that failed him."An emergency doctor at Dubbo Hospital mistakenly diagnosed Mr Hampson Jr with the drug-related condition, cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. "We meet in my dreams, but you always look confused to see me crying because I found you," Chatfield said, reading a message to her firstborn.
A slideshow played to the court showed him as a child, riding a bike, running through a sprinkler, grinning under a shimmering Christmas tree and snuggled in spotty pyjamas.
