BREAKING: MIDAZOLAM - Statement from the Dimmock family There will be an urgent hearing tomorrow at 11am Thursday 5th March 2026 arranged by Senior Coroner Dr Julian Morris at Southwark Coroner's Court in order to move matters towards a decision after months of unexplained delays. As usual, Radical Media will be covering the hearing via our live notes. The below is a statement from the Dimmock family. _________ Myself and my mother have waited 5 years and 9 months to reach this stage of the coroner justice process following what we believe to be the hastened death of father / husband, Derek Dimmock at Royal Trinity Hospice in London due to what we believe was an overdose using the combination of the benzodiazepine drug, midazolam plus an opioid (Alfentanil). The court has received over 20 witness statements from all involved ranging from London Ambulance Service to the Medical Director during 3 separate weeks of coroner court inquests over the period of 9 months. Senior Coroner, Dr. Julian Morris confirmed in court on the last day of the December week of the inquest that we (the family) would receive outstanding answers to questions put to court appointed expert, Dr Aparajita Das by the end of December 2025. Those answers have not been provided in December or until this day which now means we are one year into the inquest evidence and still no conclusion. We have received no explanation or reason why we have not received her answers to the outstanding questions or indeed any update at all from the court in over 2 months since the scheduled date that was given and the delay has undoubtably added further distress to our suffering. We find it to be particularly strange not to receive Dr Das’ answers as instructed by the coroner in December to outstanding questions as during her evidence in court under oath she made the following statement:  “should this case be discussed in a coroners court or as a more broader inquiry?” The family agreed with Dr Das on this point. Following this incredible painful period of silence regarding no communication from the court we now await the “urgent hearing” at 11am on Thursday 5th March 2026 arranged by Senior Coroner, Dr Julian Morris where we expect to be finally updated regarding the above and many other unanswered questions which the court, and presumably Dr Das, have been in receipt of since December 19th 2025 as that is the date they were sent as agreed and set out by Senior Coroner Dr Morris. Following the medical assessment on admission by the Junior Doctor at Royal Trinity Hospice his acute pain was diagnosed specifically as polyarticular gout but following that diagnosis the first medication he received was midazolam only an hour after admission and went on to receive 17.5mg of midazolam in PRN injection in less than 16 hours plus a syringe driver with a continuous infusion of midazolam and alfentanil (opioid). Even though the junior doctor correctly diagnosed gout we believe that the continuous use of midazolam plus an opioid led to my fathers premature death in just over 30 hours after admission to Royal Trinity Hospice.

PLEASE SHARE: VILE ABUSE OF ELDERLY AT CASTLEBAR HOSPITAL The utterly appalling treatment of vulnerable elderly people in hospital wards and nursing homes has been exposed in Castlebar this Christmas. Patients are being drugged on sedatives and antipsychotic drugs to keep them quiet and ultimately send them to an untimely death. Jemima, Isaac and Seán Burke arrived at Mayo University Hospital this morning (Christmas Day) to visit an elderly gentleman whom we know well and have cared for over the last 5+ years. We have been raising concerns about his care for weeks. This morning we found him in a critical condition - drugged out, dehydrated and malnourished. We immediately raised the alarm. The staff nurse on duty was very defensive. She told us to leave the bed. Within minutes, the Duty Manager had arrived flanked by a Security Guard and other men who stood in the ward. A show of activity ensued. Multiple staff arrived, including two doctors, two nurses and healthcare assistants. The patient was wheeled out for a scan, hooked up to tubes and moved to a different room. He is now critically ill. We have been raising concerns since mid-December when we first became aware that Mayo University Hospital was prescribing this single, elderly gentleman with anti-psychotics and sleeping tablets. He has been subjected to the most vile neglect by Mayo University Hospital. This hospital is administering older people with antipsychotic drugs and sedatives such as Haloperidal and Midazolam. Many of these patients are very vulnerable men and women, elderly people, perhaps living alone before they came to hospital, with few relatives to sit at the bedside. Antipsychotic drugs do not treat the patient’s medical issue. They simply knock out the patient and keep them “quiet”. Injections often happen late at night or early in the morning. These patients are then less likely to ring their call bells or tell friends and family how they are being treated. When family members call the hospital they are told the patient is “comfortable” when in reality they are drugged and dying of starvation. Catherine Donohoe is the General Manager of Mayo University Hospital. She and her staff are responsible to make sure this gentleman is cared for. Instead he has been left to die on a hospital bed. We urge anyone with friends or relatives in hospitals and nursing homes to visit their loved ones, demand answers to your questions and refuse to be intimidated by staff.
