Interview With Dr. Ellen Storm On Lucy Letby

Dr Ellen Storm, a paediatrician and neonatal registrar, focuses on a detailed reconstruction of Child A's resuscitation on the night of the alleged first offence. Using the documented timeline — apnoea noted, intubation performed at 20:28, heart rate drop observed post-intubation — she argues that the collapse was most likely caused by an unrecognised oesophageal intubation rather than any deliberate act by Lucy Letby. She explains the normal physiology of apnoea-desaturation-bradycardia in neonates and why a post-intubation deterioration is a recognised clinical event. The interview also announces the launch of the Dialectics Society (letdialectics.org), a new initiative to facilitate structured interdisciplinary debate about the Letby case. Storm emphasises that her analysis relies solely on documents in the public domain.
