I know all the ridiculous rules and you're right, it doesn't make any difference. All it does is make me incredibly sad in this country where family values are supposed to be so important, that even though an FDA imposed medical instruction says that family should be warned, there is an interrupt that prevents potentially lifesaving information (in this case, that would definitely have been the case) from getting to the family, if the doctor simply doesn't bother to ask for permission to talk to family. So, no, your information doesn't help, since it gives me no new information and no indication of what might be done to improve this situation for others.

People seem to expect that expressing sympathy will just make it all better. When you lose a child, that isn't going to happen, especially when it was TOTALLY preventable.
