    According to the report, as the doctor went to notify the parents of their son’s death, a nurse said, “I have a pulse.”

    When an officer alerted the doctor, he allegedly “arrogantly” said “he was the doctor, he has the medical degree, he went to medical school for a reason, and to let him do his thing,” the report states.

    Police witnessed the doctor tell hospital staff to stop performing life-saving measures due to the child’s condition.

    Oh, jeez…

    The doctor who made the error is not facing criminal charges.

    Oh, wtf…

    Well, at least the kid’s so young only the parents will be massively traumatised by the whole experience.

      He won’t face criminal charges, but I can’t imagine he’ll escape a civil suit (ok, I can imagine, but I realllly don’t want to…).
