Why aren't the surgeons being paraded like luigi.

Ok I read it. Here's the basics. Dude had a heart problem and an ulcer. He goes to this clinic a couple times a year for injections. This time he suffered abdominal pain and told the surgeons to call medical services. They did but it seemed like it was probably the ulcer so no one was dispatched. He tells them to proceed. Later he suffered a heart attack and emergency services are contacted again. An autopsy revealed it was not related to the procedure but rather to a chronic condition and drugs he was taking. The surgeons were punished because they were not licensed to practice in France despite doing it for a couple of decades.

Still in my humble opinion the timing seems sus.
