Staff at a Cork hospital would not do anything differently in their treatment of a 20-year-old student whose sudden death in the hospital’s emergency department remains a mystery, an inquest has heard. “I have reviewed all the notes and records in this case and I can think of nothing I would do differently to change the trajectory of the outcome which has been devastating and tragic beyond words for Ms Dasco’s family,” Dr Murphy told Cork City Coroner’s Court. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital where she was triaged as Category Yellow to be seen within 60 minutes. Senior counsel for the hospital, Simon Mills SC, extended the hospital’s sympathy to Ms Dasco’s family and he wanted to reassure them that “everything was done during her time in the hospital” to save her life. Barrister for Ms Dasco’s family Colmán Ó Donnchadha said her family, including her parents, Carlos and Mary, were appealing for privacy and would not be issuing any statement to the media following the inquest.
