A DIABETIC former nurse who had chronic lung, heart and kidney failure died of natural causes, days after being turned down for intensive care treatment, an inquest heard.
For 20 years Yvonne Coulson, from Pill, had been living with diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoporosis, asthma, limited mobility, a suspected leaking kidney and an irregular heartbeat, the inquest at Gwent Coroner's Court sitting in Newport heard yesterday.
In August 2012, Mrs Coulson, 69, lost her appetite and became lethargic while complaining of stomach pains, her husband Patrick Coulson told the court.
After contacting several on-call doctors she was admitted to Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital on August 3 where she was treated for severe dehydration.
