Sardean, when you say that your dad was murdered by doctors did you mean that they knowingly gave your dad drugs that they knew he was allergic to? If so they should probably have been charged with malpractice; but depending on the situation there are occasional times that the benefit of a drug outweighs the risk and sometimes when there is not an acceptable alternative you give the drug with a healthy dose of prednisone to minimize the allergic effect. Doesn't happen often but it does occur.
Not clear on the situation with your dad. I am sorry that you lost him at such an early age.
