We have made our decision on who October 2018's inductees into the Sick Phoque Club will be - the Victorian Coroners Court. And here's why: Four years after 18-year-old Sommer Warren died giving birth, her mother Leisa Scammell is still waiting for answers about what went wrong. Chaos in the Victorian Coroners Court has meant the coronial investigation has only just been reassigned to a new coroner, days after current affairs program 7.30 inquired about the matter. Ms Scammell had just marked four years since her daughter's death and grandson's birth. Warren presented to Goulburn Valley Health in Shepparton in October 2014, nine days past her due date. In the days between her expected delivery date and her death, she had called the hospital five times and presented four times asking to give birth. In desperation, she had also sought advice from a private obstetrician, Dr Ruary MacKenzie, who detected elevated blood pressure and recommended the hospital deliver her baby immediately. Despite this, the hospital did not induce Ms Warren until five days later. Ms Warren's baby Lincoln survived the birth. And it's taken the coroners four years. The coroners investigating Dolores O'Riordan's death only needed six months to finish their inquest.
