While i agree that there's nothing to indicate there was neglect or that this death was preventable, please please do not assume that checklists would not help. Doctors and nurses are humans (usually exhausted over worked humans). Checklists save lives and make sure that folks are all on the same (literal) page in aviation, spaceflight, engineering fields of all stripes and other fields where life and limb are at risk.

Just because you're smart doesn't mean you can't make mistakes. Engineer your environment to minimize mistakes.
