Daniel Klosi , pictured with his father Kastriot Klosi, died at the Royal Free Hospital after contracting sepsis
At East London Coroner's Court, Dr Gautham Benoy, who was a trainee GP with little experience in paediatrics, said he could see Daniel was an "unwell child" when he saw him on the evening of 1 April last year, during the fourth hospital visit.Family Handout / PA MEDIA Daniel had sunken eyes, cracked lips, looked likely to be severely dehydrated, had abdominal pain and was "quite restless and appeared in distress" when Dr Benoy tried to examine him, the court heard.
"I did not think there was any indication that the child was septic at that time," she told the inquest. She was later asked whether Dr Benoy had made a mistake or if the child's condition had become worse.Coroner Mary Hassell said she found one Royal Free consultant's thinking "very difficult to understand"
They returned on 30 March, when a doctor and nurse said Daniel had picked up a virus, and that he should "go home and rest", the father's inquest statement said.
