Is the speaker considered sinful and liable for expiation for the death of his grandmother, who died from a pulmonary embolism believed to have originated in the leg, due to his failure to have her examined, his failure to insist on a Doppler ultrasound, and his failure to administer anticoagulant medications, thinking that her condition was merely a bruise or fracture, and fearing taking her to the hospital?
You are not at fault, nor are her children. You committed no transgression or negligence. You presented the matter to the specialized doctors, and your not giving her anticoagulant medications does not constitute negligence on your part. You are not a doctor, nor are you specialized in these diseases. You entrusted the matter to the specialists, and you acted correctly and well.
