Interview With Radiologist On Lucy Letby - Part 2

An anonymous Scottish radiologist who works in a neonatal unit shares clinical insights on why the prosecution's air-embolism theory is implausible, drawing on hands-on experience with the very infants and equipment types involved. He explains that frothy blood in the right ventricle — a feature absent in documented Countess of Chester cases — is the expected hallmark of true venous air embolism, and that its absence is highly significant. He is critical of Dewi Evans's willingness to diagnose air embolism without that finding. The radiologist also argues that the therapy notes used by the prosecution as a de facto confession are a completely routine artefact of psychological processing, that any conscientious nurse dealing with multiple infant deaths would produce similar documents. He expresses the view that the case became too large to stop once institutional momentum had built, and that courts struggled to hear genuinely independent expert voices against an established narrative.
