News summary

An eight-year-old girl, Mia Glynn, tragically died of sepsis after being sent home twice by a GP despite showing symptoms of Group A Strep infection. Mia's parents, Soron and Katie, first took her to the doctor as she was vomiting, had a severe headache, and sore throat. Despite her deteriorating condition, including a raised heart rate and reduced urine output, the GP advised giving her fluids and ibuprofen because the hospital was reportedly full. Mia's condition worsened overnight, leading to suspected septic shock and a cardiac arrest shortly after arriving at the hospital, where she died. Mia's death has raised concerns about the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis, with medical professionals emphasizing the need for heightened awareness and early intervention to prevent such tragedies.
