premise: That's why it is not unusual that doctors will blame one another, or try to rationalize the error -- they say 'This patient is going to die anyway,' or, 'It is the patient's own fault -- if he were not so fat, if she were not so sick, if they had better insurance, <hypo>.' Blame the patient -- it happens a lot.
hypothesis: <hypo> should be "this wouldn't have happened"
