Something's you have said I agree with, maybe without the media and public's heartfelt reaction to this the Hughes family may have faired worse, maybe they agreed to it as a way of dealing with their pain, and trying to share it with others.... but I don't believe that makes us, the public, in anyway a stakeholder of comparable interest to his actual family and friends. I fail to believe that, even if the net effect of public interest has been positive, having national tv cameras with that added pressure was good for the family in anyway. They aren't media savvy celebrities, just normal people. Surely that put extra stress on them at a time they didn't need it?
I mean, who you film a family members funeral? What does one get from watching it? I cant understand the psyche of it

That's pretty different and a lot less straightforward than an MI. Putting him on a trolley, or transporting him from the middle before the ambulance got there doesn't make sense to me though. I imagine there will be some analysis done and new systems put in place. But but could you reasonably prepare for an injury like that? He was ventilated before he got to hospital, which would be the ambulance staff, so that part went well.
