    Failing to save someone isn’t causing their death.

    Unless your job is to save them and doing your job right would have saved them, but you chose not to do your job right.

    if the mother kept the kid home, it would have all played out the same

    So you agree the doctors were useless in this case.

      I agree they had no effect in this case.

      They failed to serve their intended use. That may be worse than useless, because it comes with unfulfilled hope. Rather than offering no hope at all, with something that actually useless.
