Mr Myers refers back to the case of Child A.
He says there was a 'failure to read subtle signs'.
He says the "crucial" element is there is no evidence of air embolus.
He says the prosecution have gathered witness accounts from this trial of the skin discolourations.
He says those recollections can change over the years.
He says there is no reference to discolouration in the contemporaneous notes for Child A, which he says is "extraordinary".
He says nurses Caroline Bennion and Melanie Taylor didn't note anything remarkable.
He cross-examined Dr Harkness on the description, who was "very animated" on the "striking" discolourations and "unexpected deterioration", but did not note it at the time, or in a statement to the coroner.
He says the evidence by a nursing colleague noted, in a 2018 police interview, Child A was 'centrally pale', with limbs 'white'.
Mr Myers cross-examined her on it, and asked her about 'blotchiness', and where that had come from.
She agreed the description was different between police interview and evidence.
Dr Jayaram said Child A was 'pale blue', with discolouration 'flitting around'.
Mr Myers says the description he gave from the interview was 'very similar' to the one from the research paper.
My Myers says the description does not appear in his clinical notes at the time, or in the "lengthy statement" to the coroner.
Mr Myers says it is a "remarkable coincidence" that two doctors did not give evidence of discolourations to the coroner in a statement, or note it at the time.

always find birthday eves a little tricky. Time goes so fast. Just so grateful and extra sad tonight for all the babies that should be here as happy little children. Especially thinking of O&P that should be just like my little boy right now 
this case has been something else. Thank god you were all here too. I don’t think I’ll follow much at all tomorrow. Don’t think I can stomach hearing any nonsense after what BNE delivered this week. X
