Summary

Paul Camfield, a 62-year-old father of three, died weeks after medical professionals allegedly overlooked his serious symptoms, mistaking them for a common ear infection. His condition drastically worsened at home, resulting in a seizure that caused a spinal fracture and two brain hemorrhages.
