DAY 7: Erin Patterson Leaves Hospital Against Medical Advice — Just 2 Days After Fatal Lunch
In a dramatic turn, Day 7 of the Mushroom Murder Trial revealed Erin Patterson checked herself out of Leongatha Hospital against medical advice, just 48 hours after the deadly beef Wellington lunch that left three dead and one critically ill.
Medical professionals testified about their alarming encounters with Patterson:
• Dr. Chris Webster said he made an emergency call after Erin left suddenly
• Erin claimed her children might be frightened by medical testing
• Dr. Webster told her: “They can be scared and alive or dead.”
• Erin claimed the mushrooms came from Woolworths and an Asian grocery
• The state's cancer registry showed no record of her ever having cancer—despite what she told lunch guests
• CCTV showed Erin signing a form confirming she was leaving against advice
• Dr. Veronica Foote testified that Erin promised to return in 30 minutes… but didn’t
