Dying patient heard his unborn grandson's heartbeat

Dying patient heard his unborn grandson's heartbeat after a nurse arranged for his daughter to have a scan at his bedside - mirror.co.uk: Vicci Smith Scott, 40, was seven months' pregnant when doctors warned her that dad Roy Smith, 83, had just hours to live. Intensive care sister Sandra Wood arranged a scan so Roy could hear the unborn baby boy. A Doppler machine, which detects a child's heartbeat, was brought to his room and Vicci sat beside her dad as her child's heartbeat was monitored. Roy died just two hours later.
