She did not remember anyone saying the tear was about 7cm, butthere was a discussion about what to do about it. No-one mentionedseeing an injury like Charlene's previously. In other evidence Susan Wortelboer, a staff nurse, said she firstsaw Charlene in Christchurch Hospital about 7.30am and was asked toinsert a urinal catheter. After cleaning away a yellow discharge, she noticed an abrasionabout the size of a thumbnail and then inserted the catheterwithout difficulty. Earlier Dr Fen Moy, the emergency registrar at ChristchurchHospital on duty when Charlene was brought in unconscious about7.20am, said she was the team leader in charge of resuscitatingCharlene. Shortly before Charlene arrived she had received a call from ageneral practitioner at the Bealey Avenue 24hr clinic whereCharlene was first brought on January 6. He mentioned when they inserted a suppository, blood had come fromCharlene's rectum but she could not recall that he suggested arectal examination be done, Moy said. "In the context of near death, that was not a priority for us. Ourpriority was saving her life." She was not told the doctor suspected Charlene's symptoms were dueto some sort of sexual abuse. She was predominantly at the head of the bed looking afterCharlene's airway and also examined her abdomen, she said. Charlene, who was in a deep coma, was given high flow oxygen. In the treatment team were two other emergency medicine doctors, apaediatric registrar, two intensive ICU registrars and furtherdoctors who arrived as the morning went on. Charlene was in her care for two hours but she was not involved inany examination of Charlene's anal area, she said. One initial working diagnosis of Charlene's symptoms wasmeningococcal septicaemia but given her state, the emergency teamwas not able to thoroughly examine her, Moy said. She was aware of some abnormalities of the perineum being discussedafter a catheter was inserted into Charlene's groin. Email this article Print this article Text size + - more...
