A woman died alone and in pain two days after she was discharged from an Adelaide hospital emergency department, an inquest has heard. South Australian coroner Mark Johns is investigating Rita Ann Broadway’s death in early 2015. The 66-year-old woman, who was in a wheelchair, was taken to Modbury Hospital by ambulance after complaining of pain near her bladder catheter and the inquest heard her requests went unmet for it to be changed. The woman contacted the Royal District Nursing Service South Australia (RDNSSA) the next day and told a nurse she needed someone to attend her home because of her pain level. She was told she would have to wait a further day until a visit was possible, the coroner heard. Counsel assisting the coroner Naomi Kereru said there was no evidence the nurse ever organised that visit.
