Couple showed "no signs" of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Echo By Gina Marden
A CONSULTANT at Basildon Hospital said a couple who died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning showed “no signs” of the illness when they were treated. Pamela Cox, 56 and her husband Leslie, 58, were found dead at their home in ... COSA Note: This medical community presented with the most common of carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms apparently is not prepared to recognize and test for increased COHb% levels in the victims/patients.
The following quote from the article really says it all about how ignorant the health care provider community is when it comes to carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms. These symptoms are presented to HCP’s every day and CO poisoning isn’t even a slight burp of a thought. “Two days before their death Mr. Cox was taken to Basildon Hospital by ambulance suffering dizziness and vomiting and whilst there his wife collapsed. Despite that neither was diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning.“ No diagnosis from the symptoms? That is like saying that people poisoned by carbon monoxide at an indoor monster truck rally are sickened by the "Silent Killer".
