Mother, 22, who had a fatal reaction to prescription painkillers was told to 'stop faking it' by paramedics as she lay DYING


Beatrice Lovane, 22, from Rochdale in Greater Manchester, who suffered a fatal reaction to prescription painkillers was accused of 'faking it' by paramedics as she lay dying, an inquest heard. Miss Lovane, who had an undiagnosed liver condition, fell ill after taking co-codamol tablets prescribed for stomach pain. Ambulance staff failed to act for a 'prolonged period of time' after she collapsed at the bottom of her stairs despite her mother begging them to help. As she lay on the floor in vomit, her eyes rolling back and struggling to breathe, she was told by paramedics to 'stop being funny', 'behave', 'stop humiliating' herself, and was refused a wheelchair, the inquest was told
