Wow, this is scary, no reason given in the article for the doctors not responding either. Thank heavens this mother knew of Ryan’s Rule. The public have the right to an answer and a full investigation into every time this happens. What if people have never heard of Ryan’s Rule? It’s the first time that I have heard of it. I don’t know what the Australian Capital Territory has as an equivalent. I do know the Canberra hospital has a medical advocate though and we had to use the advocate once, or I would have been a window.
Be informed and be empowered but please be respectful. When under duress it is difficult to maintain your composure especially in a life or death situation.
Here is a link for Canberra information CARE. This includes mental health too.

This is from 2016, I just hope it is useful in someone’s hour of need. There is a thing at the bottom of the article mentioning NSW, but not all of NSW was on board as of 2016. Why is it not national?
Ryan’s Rule covers being in hospital and being cared for at home by hospital in the home medical professionals.
This is from 2020, Victoria and Western Australia
