    May the Lord bless and keep this child and his family who suffered a great loss. When will some of these healthcare practitioners treat each patient as if he or she were their own loved one? Surely when a mistake shows up on their paychecks or bills to patients, they are quick to point that out, yet they can’t be as quick to take time to ensure they are not prescribing death and suffering to the most vulnerable patients.
