She presented with high fever and severe upper quadrant pain. This was her chief complaint. I wonder why the focus was on the heart right away. She could have died from sepsis given that the initial management was ONLY on the cardiac event rather than covering her with antibiotics along with the cardiac management just to buy time against sepsis while waiting to stabilize before surgical intervention.
