  • Failing to save someone’s life, implies they made decisions in an attempt to save the life. That they tried, and were unsuccessful.

    But in this case, they made decisions which directly prevented Micah from receiving the tests that would have given them the opportunity to save his life.

    The decision, and action, to dissuade Micah’s mother from seeking further medical care directly lead to his death. The decision, and action, to discharge him without adequate testing directly lead to his death.

    The ER team on the third visit sounds to have tried and failed to save his life, even the decision to wait for blood thinners until more thorough testing was likely correct since they were most likely unaware of the risk of the formation of blood clots in the child.

    The primary care doctor and the first ER team negligently made a series of decisions and actions that allowed a child to have an illness go undetected until it became fatal. They had the training and knowledge to know how serious the symptoms reported were and that the child’s recovery was not in line with the illness they had initially diagnosed him. They may have had procedures they didn’t follow which if they had would have prevented Micah death. If those are identified, then yes, I would say they caused his death through inaction.

    Does it rise to criminality? No. But it’s likely malpractice.



  • IMO, they should go through the entire training and then a day or two of doing at least one of the top 3 employed jobs at the company.

    Whether that’s stocker, cashier, or whatever.

    No one should know they are corporate, but I’ve trained new manager for my stores before when I worked retail. Truthfully, they are just people trying to get through the day. It didn’t matter they were my bosses they got trained and treated literally the exact same as any of my other trainees.

    It’s not larping, it’s not PR, it’s literally just understanding core areas of the business so that any decisions they make they have context on what it will actually impact. As management, I’ve specifically gone out of my way to sit and shadow people so that I can understand their job and try and identify challenges they face. And if it was within my power or knowledge to explore a solution I would.
