You're so right. It's nuts to give so much to a young infant. I'm sorry that happened to your father and grandmother. It happened to my mother too. She had heart surgery the year before and got really sick with flu like symptoms (cold, fever, sweating). When she was at my house once, she had her winter coat on and was still shivering from cold! I drove her to the doctor and he sent her home with the words to take paracetamol and go to bed. She went back 4 times and he kept doing the same! (and my mother wasn't one for going to a doctor at all). Two months later she died. She had an infection probably from a small scrape or something and it went to the heart. When the heart surgeon told us what happened, he also mentioned that flu like symptoms in someone who had major surgery should always be taken seriously and are always pointing at an infection. The fact that both of the nurses who came to her house every day and the doctor who sent her away didn't know this or decided to ignore it shows me that they shouldn't have their degrees in the first place. The heart surgeon told us: 'Could this have been prevented? Yes. Should you undertake action against the doctor? I don't think so, it's not like you'll get her back with it.' I never did anything, because I was 8 months pregnant and was overwhelmed by the whole thing, but now I regret that, because they can just go on and treat people like that, possibly killing them.

What an interesting but heartbreaking comment! Thank you for sharing something so personal.
I personally believe we must always fight for our rights but the process is lengthy, intimidating, tiring and if you don't have the necessary skills very, very expensive. These barriers to entry prevent many people from standing up for their rights!
My sincere condolences for the unnecessary death of your mother! =(
