said their 16-year-old son, Finlay, had a few days of mild illness and was suffering from migraines before his condition began to worsen.

From what I read about this story last week, he was suffering from pneumonia and sepsis (among other health issues).

The eight hours in the ER, although unacceptable, was the tail end of a much bigger problem with his health.

He should have been brought in days sooner. Pneumonia almost never kills healthy teens, certainly not in a few hours of waiting, so he had other issues going on and I'm sure the hospital will be aggressively defending against this lawsuit.
