MF Doom died a very preventable and senseless death (Story) - page 3

These hospitals are used to treating neanderthal bodies, and don't have time to shift focus to human ones

True. I mean it was definitely negligence that played a part in his death, but it was also his lifestyle with all those medical complications. Most of them were probably preventable years ago.

Y’all stay healthy man. Exercise.

Are you British bruv? Reading between the lines I guess so...

My condolences about your grandparents

Having had very close family in hospital recently for serious sh1t ATM I can say that the NHS is under severe pressure

Still I rather take my chances this side of the pond than see my money go health insurance and big pharmaceutical companies

musician, who had several medical conditions including kidney failure, type 2 diabetes, heart failure and hepatitis B, underwent kidney dialysis in Leeds in July 2020.

With all those problems it was only a matter of time. Suprised he was alive with all those issues goddamn

Man this makes me even sadder

Didn't know he had all of those complications

Why did I think he was born in New York this whole time

I am completely speechless to find out the god died such a senseless death (via The Guardian)

Leeds hospital trust apologises after rapper MF Doom died in its care
London-born musician Dumile Daniel Thompson, 49, had a lack of oxygen to his brain after a reaction to a blood pressure drug.

An NHS trust has apologised for the substandard care given to MF Doom, an underground rap icon who died aged 49 while having hospital treatment.
The artist behind songs including Accordion and That’s That, whose real name was Dumile Daniel Thompson, died in October 2020 due to a lack of oxygen to his brain after a reaction to a drug prescribed for blood pressure.

The London-born rapper, one of hip-hop’s most distinctive MCs and producers, who was part of the American hip-hop duo Madvillain alongside Madlib, died at St James’s hospital in Leeds.

At an inquest into his death, the Leeds teaching hospitals NHS trust, which runs St James’s, acknowledged there had been “missed opportunities” during his treatment for angioedema, which is sudden swelling often caused by an allergic reaction.

Thompson’s throat, tongue and lips became swollen after he was prescribed medication to control his blood pressure, the Leeds Live website reported.
The musician, who had several medical conditions including kidney failure, type 2 diabetes, heart failure and hepatitis B, underwent kidney dialysis in Leeds in July 2020.

The inquest heard he had registered with a new GP in the city and doctors had been unable to access his previous medical notes because of concerns about data protection.

On 23 October 2020, Thompson had breathing problems after taking new medication and went to the A&E department at St James’s hospital where he was given adrenaline, steroids and oxygen.

His condition appeared to improve but then suddenly deteriorated and he collapsed. Thompson, who had six children, was put on a ventilator and died on 31 October.

The assistant coroner Janine Wolstenholme said a care plan drawn up in hospital was not sufficiently detailed and that doctors were given a “false reassurance” about the musician’s condition when his health appeared to improve.

She said that when Thompson suggested the swelling in his throat, tongue and lips were getting worse, this should have triggered a request for a review at the hospital, although it was not possible to say whether his collapse could have been avoided.

Wolstenholme described Thompson’s deterioration on 31 October 2020 as rapid and said it was a “rare event”. She said the reaction to the drug was rare but it was more common in smokers and people of African-Caribbean descent. Thompson was described as a moderate smoker.

The coroner said the trust accepted that doctors had not sought “specialist input” about the patient’s condition from an immunology expert.

She apologised to Thompson’s wife, Jasmine, who followed the inquest via video link from the US, for the time it had taken to bring the matter to the court.
Wolstenholme concluded the inquest with a narrative verdict that touched on a number of issues highlighted by Thompson’s wife and her legal team.

Afterwards, the Leeds teaching hospitals NHS trust issued an apology. Dr Hamish McLure, its chief medical officer, said: “I would like to offer our sincere condolences to Daniel’s family, friends and fans at this difficult time. I apologise that the care he received was not to the standard we would expect.

“Following his sad death we undertook a serious incident investigation and the report has been shared with Daniel’s family. As a result we have put in place a number of actions and the wider learning from what happened is to be used as a teaching topic in a number of different clinical specialities. We also support the coroner’s recommendation for clearer national guidance and awareness in this area.”

He died ????

See I hate to say it but this shows you're commenting on something you know nothing about

NHS hospitals are run and staffed by 50% non white people

Caribbean nurses were pretty fundamental in getting it going

he only happened to be born in london when his mom was visiting family. his parents lived in the u.s. it was just by chance she gave birth while away in london and he grew up in new york immediately after birth. i only know this because i remember back in like 2010 or so of the story how he wasn't allowed back into the u.s. after an international tour because he had never became a permanent citizen and after he picked up some charges they denied him re-entry and he just said "fu#k it" and stayed in the uk instead.



his birth certificate says dumile daniel thompson for some reason. in the u.s. under court records his name is listed as daniel thompson dumile.

Course cause American healthcare is far better than the NHS

You're a fool

Making something political out of this

RIP DOOM, bonafide genius

You wish I didn't know nothing about it, but I do and I'm right. Non-black people are servicing a majority white country. So, I'm right.

The nhs is trash

So is Canada’s health care system

Socialism never works

When were you last treated by an NHS doctor out of interest

Alright, I ain't been treated by an American doctor, but I have heard untold horror stories from people off the net and the media

Not only that, you can get sick and lose your house and savings in the US, not in the UK

The American system spends more settling health related lawsuits than the UK spends on the whole NHS, and the so called leader of the free world can't provide universal healthcare

Keep telling me how trash the NHS is, I bet you're a fu#kin MAGAt...
