3 weeks for a 10 minute lab workup on the blood?..Oh, gee. Cherry red when you brought them in? We need a full NCIS here.
As a Medical Technologist, that's exactly what I was thinking! The appearance of the blood should have caused the medical personnel to suspect CO poisoning before any quantitative test was even done. The fact that an eleven year old boy died in the same room is a terrible tragedy and was completely avoidable. I think our society is way too litigious, but this is one case that certainly should be the subject of a lawsuit! It will not bring this mother's son back, but the owners of the hotel should be held to account for their negligence.
