Leah explained that when she reviewed the image of the ECG following her mother’s death, she noticed wording that suggested a possible abnormality. The phrase indicated a “moderate T-wave abnormality” and recommended considering signs of ischemia. After discussing the case with legal advisers, she raised questions about whether the test had been fully reviewed at the time.

Leah also said that during conversations with medical representatives, she was informed that the ECG should normally have been electronically signed by a doctor, though she believes the document she saw did not show that confirmation. She has since spoken with legal professionals to better understand the processes involved in reviewing and documenting medical test results.

A spokesperson for Wirral University Teaching Hospital responded by stating that patient safety remains a top priority for the organization. The statement noted that when concerns are identified, cases are reviewed through established national procedures designed to improve learning and healthcare practices.

The hospital trust added that investigations follow standard NHS processes and may involve NHS Resolution when appropriate. For Leah and her family, sharing Tracey’s story has become a way to highlight the importance of listening to health concerns and seeking medical advice when symptoms appear. She hopes that increased awareness may encourage others to take persistent symptoms seriously and pursue further evaluation when needed.
