Unmasking Lucy Letby? 04.11.2024 1:03:08
Episode 35 is a quick review of the recent book Unmasking Lucy Letby, with a little science thrown in, which is more than can be said for the book. Show Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vdALlJDrm5Bkd8P1WRSDSUDM6ia4xQzbrkBjgljY38I/edit?usp=sharing
Pull the Other one 31.10.2024 1:09:35
Dr Jayaram's inconsistent story about Baby K, for me is not credible. Letby was retried for the attempted murder, perhaps to save Jayaram's blushes. His public claim that the only reason that preterm babies dislodge ET tubes is not true. https://feed.podbean.com/1962strat/feed.xml Show notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N92i69K4HSdzqi2KwE5s5PN5Wmc7C-5rDwgV--tUPU8/edit?tab=t.0

The Collusion of Anonymity 20.10.2024 44:09
A lack of coordinated care is all too common in medical practice and is evident in this case. There are perfectly acceptable medical reasons for the collapses and death of Baby I, that are far removed from the fantastical and baseless conclusion of the cheif witness in this trial.

An exercise in intellectual deceit. 16.10.2024 47:00
An introduction to the circumstance of the death of Baby I, where so called expert witnesses boil almost three months of progressive deterioration of a critically ill preterm neonate, into four single events. They do so in defiance of our knowledge of the cumulative effects of disease and its relationship to mortality and the extremely high mortality of neonates born after premature rupture of mem...
Lies, Damn Lies and Expert witnesses. 13.10.2024 32:30
In episode 30, we take a brief look at the chaotic care of Baby H. The NNU, with 13 babies and only four nurses, is a clear example of systemic failures. Every identified failing in the RCPCH report is in play, yet the blame is malignantly shifted to Letby. The behaviour towards patients in this example is shockingl. The standard of practice is abysmal, and the integrity of the prosecution is non-...
We must have missed that bit. 12.10.2024 1:17:29
In the final part of the analysis of Baby the expert witnesses conveniently miss other episodes of "projectile" vomiting, not caused by injecting air ( or something else) into the stomach.

Infantile Mathematics 09.10.2024 43:25
The addition and removal of insulin from preterm neonates is still largely a mystery and varies significantly from one baby to the next. Some institutions use experimental mathematical models to estimate insulin requirements. The calculations needed are hugely complex and subject to error and assumption. But not for the experts in the Letby trial. One immunoassay for insulin and C-peptide is insu...
No smoke, no fire 05.10.2024 38:53
In Episode 27, we move on with the case of Baby F and argue that the single immunoassay test used to construct the story that Baby F was poisoned should have been inadmissible as evidence and grounds for appeal. In the absence of a defence witness, the lawyer's ignorance of the nuances of medicine devastated Letby. RSS feed: https://feed.podbean.com/1962strat/feed.xml Tattle Life link: https://tat...
Mickey Mouse Medicine 03.10.2024 35:38
This episode examines the complexities of maintaining adequate glucose levels in preterm neonates. The expert witnesses in the Lucy Letby trial reduced these real-world challenges to primary school simplicity and offered only one outlandishly improbable possibility. This will contrast with the next episode, where we explain the flaws in the expert evidence in the case of Baby F. Reference to the a...
A Work of Fiction. 01.10.2024 50:24
Not only was the evidence against Lucy Letby in the Baby F case circumstantial, but the circumstances were a menu of assumptions. How on earth is this just?

Potentially 26.09.2024 1:14:00
The ultimate stable baby at the CoCH. Thirty weeks gestation, actively bleeding from the gut, has lost at least 25% of total blood volume, is on 100 oxygen and is still "a stable baby".

Experts who aren't expert. 21.09.2024 54:11
In this episode, we continue with the expert witnesses in Baby E's case. Without post-mortem findings, it's open season for the imagination, bizarre claims abound, and the defence remains in the trenches.

No autopsy, no proof 20.09.2024 24:29
Without an autopsy every opinion of the expert witnesses is mere speculation, some of it quite extraordinary and inappropriate for professional people.

All Good Signs 10.09.2024 29:16
A personal description of the fate of Baby D who arguably developed pneumonia while still in utero. A baby with findings of acadaemia while in ICU,a circumstance often lethal to newborns and which occurred long before Letby's involvement. A blood pH between 7.194 and 7.173 in a 2-day-old term neonate with pneumonia is concerning and potentially dangerous, as it indicates significant metabolic acid...
