A man who died from a ruptured spleen the day after a colonoscopy could have been saved if an on-call nurse had given him the correct medical advice. Alan Edward Stewart, 70, underwent the routine medical procedure at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in 2018, after returning an abnormal bowel cancer screening test. He was discharged from the hospital a few hours after the 20-minute procedure, as is standard practice. About 10.
He was declared dead at the scene, with an autopsy confirming the cause of death was a ruptured spleen. Coroner Paul Lawrie found the nurse’s incorrect advice stopped Stewart from going to hospital in time to receive emergency care. “ assessment and care may, subject to his clinical presentation on arrival at hospital, have prevented his death,” Lawrie stated in his report.
