A GP has described her distress at seeing a three-year-old girl who became “floppy and blue” at a Sydney medical centre, before later dying from influenza-related complications, an inquest has heard. 

GP Dr Sumeena Qidwai said Caitlin Cruz was likely the “sickest child” she had ever seen before she was rushed to hospital.
