I totally understand the fear, shit rolls downhill and high ups pin it on the most vulnerable person. There's a lot of bullying in the NHS so I'm sure people get mistreated.

Scary thing is the managers were covering for Lucy and the inquiry has shown just how much. She was in supportive text contact with one of the highest management! This quick read gives an overview

Oh no... okay, now I think she did do it.

Consultant paediatrician Ravi Jayaram enters the intensive care unit in the early hours of 17 February and finds Letby standing next to the incubator of a premature baby who is struggling to breathe. Letby is doing nothing to help.

I don't know what to say. This really has shaken me. I almost feel for the manager who tried to reassure Lucy that she wasn't at fault.

I know it's just awful. I remember he said he had a strong gut instinct he shouldn't leave her with the child, and he went down to reassure himself he was being ridiculous. But there she was 😲
