- assblaster 8y agoAttributing death to a medical error instead of the underlying condition that would have been the cause of death anyway is missing the forest through the trees. If you go into the hospital because you have stage IV colon cancer, and you die because a palliative surgery resulted in infection, you died because of the colon cancer, not the infection.
