Despite visits to two physicians and two hospitals within 4 days in September 1994, 7-week-old Madeleine Hunter died of flu-related dehydration. The coroner at an inquest into the baby's death said he had never seen a case in which so many things went wrong. The coroner's jury, which made 46 recommendations, determined that physicians and others involved in the care of very small infants should give "due respect to the instinct of the mother." Madeleine's mother, Georgina Hunter, recounts the story of her baby's death.
