By Sam Webb PUBLISHED: 14:38 EST, 10 October 2013 | UPDATED: 14:51 EST, 10 October 2013 A casualty consultant who sent a dying woman home from hospital with painkillers had her written apology to the family literally thrown back in her face at an inquest today. Angry mum Carole Woodward flung the hand-written apology across the courtroom towards A&E consultant, Delia Parnham-Cope, as she gave evidence at the inquest in Gloucester. Mrs Woodward’s daughter, Jayne Hughes, 44, died at home on December 19 from an undiagnosed pulmonary embolism - a blood clot on the lungs. She had been rushed into Gloucestershire Royal Hospital A&E two days earlier after becoming dizzy and falling downstairs, banging her head and shoulder, at her home in Lydney, Gloucestershire.
