A 20-year-old student from Billingham, Teesside, Libby Instone, dies after collapsing following multiple visits to an urgent care centre. Reports say she had been vomiting for days and went for medical help three times within 24 hours before she eventually collapsed and died in August 2023. According to the accounts described by local outlets, staff initially told her she had gastroenteritis, but she continued to worsen. One report characterizes her treatment as dismissive, saying she was told she was “like a time-waster” before later collapsing. The circumstances described include that she sought urgent assessment repeatedly as her condition deteriorated, and that medics later attributed her symptoms to gastroenteritis. Both sources recount the timeline of repeated urgent care attendance and the conclusion of gastroenteritis at the time of the visits, followed by her subsequent collapse and death. The reports do not provide additional details about the final diagnosis, the findings of any subsequent investigation, or actions taken by healthcare providers.
