If a patient dies in the hand of an incompetent and or negligent caregiver, then yes, it should be challenged. Keep in mind that doctors operate conveyor belts and the deadly issues most often were overlooked. Courts challenge "Unreasonable Expectations" but they frown on neglect. An attorney can only do so much defending incompetence or victimization, in the end the law prevails. .
Arguing feelings as a justification for irrational reasoning is a no-starter. Emotion is a chemical reaction stimulated by the senses.
