By Jaya Narain for The Daily Mail Two British doctors drowned during a holiday in Tenerife after they were sucked into a whirlpool as they battled to stop their children being swept out to sea, an inquest heard. Dr Uma Ramalingam, 42, and GP Barathi Ravikumar, 40, went to grab the two youngsters after they were suddenly hit by a succession of freak waves as they paddled on rocks near their holiday villa. But as they did so all four slipped on the wet rocks and slid into the water and were swept out due to the strong waves and currents.
