> A 26-year-old dental student in Connecticut died in an intensive care unit that was overseen by a remote "tele-health" doctor who pronounced him dead on a video screen after failing to "effectively communicate" his medical needs, a lawsuit says.

> Conor Hylton's parents are suing Yale New Haven Health, which owns and operates the Bridgeport Hospital Milford Campus where their son died in 2024, and Northeast Medical Group — which is also part of Yale New Haven Health — for negligence that they say ultimately led to his death.

I wonder why they didn’t give him some ethanol or a benzodiazepine.

I’m no doctor but a 26 year old presenting with pancreatitis and dehydration is almost certainly an alcoholic, dude was probably wracked with DTs :(
