Re: death
The answer is "maybe". So much depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. What were your husband's history, symptoms, vital signs, preexisting medical history, medication record, etc.
Once this information is obtained (along with the autopsy report if one was done)other physicians can review the information to determine 1) if the doctor's care fell below the standard required of physicians and 2) whether this substandard care made any difference in the ultimate outcome ie. the loss of your loved one.
Call me if you would like to find out the answer to these questions...
