Opinion of the Court

Dissenting Opinion

HUGHES, J.,

would grant the writ.

| tThe failure to call the doctor to inquire about the release of the additional medication took the decision from the doctor and is inexcusable, regardless of how (un-derstandábly) distraught the relatives of the dying man became. Instead, a day later the man dying in pain was “discharged.”
