New Michele Worden Interview On Lucy Letby, Nursing & More

A second interview with advanced neonatal nurse practitioner Michelle Worden. Topics include Lucy Letby's character and social life as described by nursing colleagues, the deceptive way Letby was removed from clinical duties, the structural collapse of medical staffing at the Countess of Chester, and the process by which Dr Ravi Jayaram convinced Cheshire Police to investigate. Worden explains the critical importance of monitoring subtle signs of deterioration in premature infants, challenges Evans's claim that collapses were unexpected, and thoroughly debunks the overfeeding with milk and air injection theories on logistical grounds. She also questions the independence of the expert witnesses called by the prosecution and describes her failed attempts to make Cheshire Police and Ben Myers aware of the RCPCH report.

Darry knew within 10 minutes. It's it's just it's worthy of Harry Potter it's fantastical. The experts that now Mark McDonald has got I know because I'm in contact with some of them have spent weeks and months poring over thousands of pages of observation charts, fluid balance charts, prescription charts, medical notes, nursing notes.

It's like it, in fairness, Jonathan Coffey on that programme said, well it's like saying this patient's shot, oh wait a minute no they're not shot, they drowned, but that doesn't matter because they died anyway. It's nonsense.

She was a completely healthy, normal, fun-loving but dedicated nurse who worked hard and played hard.

I phoned Cheshire police and spoke to a policewoman and told her about the Royal College report. I don't think she'd read it. She certainly wasn't very interested in it. She implied that the staffing wasn't relevant and did I know Lucy, did I work with Lucy, and did I have any evidence against Lucy.
