Erin Patterson diagnosed with chapped lips after deadly mushroom lunch.
A few days after the tragic lunch, Erin Patterson had been transferred to Monash Health’s emergency department after self-presenting to Leongatha Hospital on July 31 and complaining of diarrhoea and abdominal cramping.
Quizzed by prosecutor Sarah Lenthall on if there was any clinical evidence for amanita phalloides poisoning or any other toxin, Dr Muldoon responded “no”.
Another doctor at Monash Health, Varuna Ruggoo, said Dr Muldoon’s notes said there were “no concerns” about poisoning.
“She wrote in her notes there were no concerns about that kind of poisoning because liver tests were all in normal limits,” she said.
Called to give evidence on Tuesday, Monash Health emergency registrar Laura Muldoon told the jury that there was no “clinical evidence” Ms Patterson experienced mushroom poisoning on August 1.
According to Dr Muldoon, Ms Patterson had “chapped lips” but otherwise looked well and was discharged from hospital later that evening.
“I noted that she looked clinically well. She had some chapped lips but otherwise looked very well,” she said.
