Sometimes its the pharmacist or nurse.
Sometimes it is none of the above. My BIL was misdiagnosed, they missed that he had a rare heart disease that less than 200,000 people in the country have. Since he was misdiagnosed he would be counted as a "doctor caused death", even though the condition has no cure and has a 100% death rate. The best they can do is slow it down a bit. So, it would not have saved him had they diagnosed him correctly on the first day.
