AN anorexic woman admitted to hospital with severe skin infections had a heart attack after being made to wait in a corridor and then an operating theatre by emergency department staff at a Perth hospital.
An inquest began on Monday into the death Melissa Anne Nielson, who was just 24 when she died after a life beset with health problems including her eating disorder, and chronic type 1 diabetes.
The opening to the inquest was told that Ms Nielson was so ill in the lead up to her death she had been treated by doctors usually specialising in geriatric care.
