As she left the hospital to go to her car in the parking lot, she collapsed and died.

I missed the point you just made. An emergency visit is not the same at all as being monitored by a physician routinely. An emergency visit cannot detect all health issues that may be sickening a patient.
People frequently take medication for conditions that do NOT cause them to feel ill or be ill. Those people feel healthy but they have conditions that if left untreated will blossom into dangerous health issues.
My response to you a few posts back about the issue that you stated at the beginning of this thread that you started is that
your doctor/service/office wanted to see you every three months. I responded by saying either your doctor is wrong or you are ignoring his advice.
