Junior doctor struck off after being convicted over death of boy is allowed back to work

A JUNIOR doctor convicted over the death of a six-year-old boy has been allowed back to work - four years after being struck off.

But she "inexplicably" confused the youngster for another boy who had been discharged and ordered medics to stop trying to resuscitate him after he stopped breathing believing he was under a 'do not resuscitate' order. The tragic lad died from sepsis — a complication of infection, leading to multiple organ failure — which had been missed in the morning assessment.Jack was a lively and energetic little boy. The room lit up when he walked in with his cheeky smile and his cheeky ways.

His mum Nicola and dad Victor paid tribute to him during the trial - saying their son was "one in a million". At 8pm, he went into septic shock - leading to a “crash call” emergency - but the doctor's confusion with the other boy meant medics were momentarily told to stop trying to save him.She was allowed to continue working until November 2015, when she was convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence.
