Yes, someone could have... but didn't because it probably wasn't presented to them. How did this guy get to the clinic in the first place and how did he explain to the GP his problem? If he did it then, how come he couldn't when he arrived at the hospital? Not sure if that has been answered before or not... it just doesn't make sense to me. To blame the ER staff for not doing this or that... things that aren't standard practice in the first place... well... that's grasping for someone to blame which is becoming more common in today's society. Can't we just chalk this up to an accidental death instead of saying someone or a group of people are at fault?
