Missed ICU Move Sparked Major Hospital Review

A top doctor didn’t send 13-year-old Martha Mills to intensive care, even after clear sepsis warning signs, a tribunal found. Her parents flagged her worsening condition, but action came too late. Now, the case is fueling calls for 'Martha’s Rule,' letting families demand a second opinion if they’re worried care isn’t right. It’s a heartbreaking reminder: sometimes, speaking up isn’t enough—so new rules might help save lives. #Healthcare #PatientSafety #MarthasRule #Health
