Schoolgirl who died of pneumonia 'could have been saved if doctor carried out basic tests.

A schoolgirl who tragically died from pneumonia could have been saved if an out-of hours doctor had carried out a basic examination, a coroner ruled .
Instead five-year-old Fizzah Malik was sent home with Calpol and died in her dad's arms just two days later.
She had been taken to the King George Hospital in
Ilford , east London where she was seen by Dr Nazmul Mohsin.
He could have saved the schoolgirl's life if he listened to her chest and referred her to a specialist who would have prescribed antibiotics, coroner Nadia Persaud ruled.
Her dad Marshal Aashtar said following his two-year quest for justice that knowing his child's death could have been prevented thrust "a dagger through my heart."
Coroner Ms Persaud told Walthamstow Coroner's Court: "Fizzah Malik was seen by a GP in an out-of-hours service located in King George's Hospital.
"A key factor was the report of pain in the left side of her chest.
"Despite this complaint there was no clear evidence the chest was auscultated [listening to the heart, the lungs, and the gastrointestinal system] fully.
"I find Dr Mohsin should have referred her to a paediatrician.
"Given referral, it's likely Fizzah would have been treated with antibiotics.
"Had a referral to the paediatrician been made at that time, it is likely her death would have been avoided."
The finding follows the lengthy battle by her parents - driving instructor Mr Aashtar, 45, and mum Rubina Aashtar, 43.
Afterwards, the tearful dad said: "I'm heartbroken but hopefully this means other people's children won't suffer the same way.
