South Auckland woman's stroke misdiagnosed as anxiety years before man died after similar mistake

Brittany Keogh Reporter from Manukau Courier

Hi neighbours, A stroke victim was misdiagnosed with anxiety and sent home from Middlemore Hospital after doctors misinterpreted her brain scan, only to be rushed back to the emergency department hours later after having a second stroke.
Vicky Keen has spoke about the ordeal as she's concerned about other patients being misdiagnosed at Middlemore, after learning of what happened to Edwin Donald Amundsen, who died at the hospital on October 15, 2015, after his stroke was misdiagnosed as a migraine.
