The death of Raymond Cho
In mid December 2012, the NSW State Coroner, Mary Jerram, conducted and inquest into the tragic death of Raymond Cho, a 15 year old boy, from anaphylaxis.Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction, which always requires an emergency response.

I attended the inquest and these are some thoughts I'd like to share that may help schools and other institutions prevent such deaths in future...."

This is terribly sad. There were sooooo many missteps along the way. His death seems it was preventable.
