Verdict of medical misadventure returned at inquest into man who was gored by bull

Family solicitor Gabriel Toolan, who described Mr Cull as “an extraordinary young man”, told coroner Eamonn MacGowan that the Culls were of the firm belief that if a CT pulmonary angiogram had been done on February 9th, it would have revealed the blood clots in his lungs and would “in all likelihood have averted the tragedy of his death”.

He was discharged on February 7th but after collapsing in the bathroom at home he was taken by ambulance back to the hospital on February 9th. When he was discharged that day he was so weak the family had to get a wheelchair to get him to the car. “We were told Anthony had low blood pressure and to raise his legs up higher than his head if he felt unwell,” Mr Cull recalled.

Dr Harris said Mr Cull returned to the hospital by ambulance on February 9th, after collapsing at home, arriving at 7.43am. He was reviewed by a registrar and discharged at 9.47am.
