    Well no. While that does happen often. Failing to save someone isn’t causing their death.

    In this specific case, they simply failed to save someone they could have. Nothing they did was the cause of this kids death.

    The difference is, if the mother kept the kid home, it would have all played out the same.
    When the healthcare system kills someone. They would have survived if they stayed home. Or at least died of something different.

      Failing to save someone isn’t causing their death.

      Unless your job is to save them and doing your job right would have saved them, but you chose not to do your job right.

      if the mother kept the kid home, it would have all played out the same

      So you agree the doctors were useless in this case.
