Yes I would. I would blame him simply because I need to blame someone, in the same way that we all feel the need to believe that there is a God who controls our life and makes decisions for us. God's will and all that. Do I really believe that he is to blame? No. But I need to put my anger towards someone and channel whatever wrath I have in me so that I can slowly let go.
He thanked me for lettiing him see it from a patient's POV. I do wonder though if most people will agree with me.
I remember an episode on Grey's Anatomy. It was clear that the doctor did everything she could but the patient's family still put all the blame on the doctor. Death of a family member is very hard to accept. The pain can be overwhelming. Perhaps some people find the need to blame it on someone.
