Dying patient given treatment despite advance care directive, coroner told

The hospital attempted resuscitation up until the patient's 'distressed' mother intervened

A hospital went against a dying patient’s advance care directive when it intubated her despite her wish not to be given life-prolonging care, a coroner has heard.

Kylie Breen was 40 years old when she attempted to take her own life while at home in 2017.
