Becky Rose was taken to Starship hospital seven times in six weeks in agony due to abdominal pain. Six weeks after first visiting Starship, a CT scan showed Becky's bowel had perforated and a collection of infectious fluid had pooled in her pelvis. In the email the doctor told the Roses he was concerned about Becky's pain, and had personally ordered an MRI scan. As well as the perforation, Becky's bowel was blocked, sending its contents back up into her stomach. However, he said the impression her family received from medics which alleged strike action affected the timing of Becky's scans was "not accurate".
