Medical malpractice

From today's World Wide Words, ed. M. Quinion:

"While not wishing to make a joke from death, Janusz Lukasiak found
this sentence in an obituary of 21 June on the Cosmopolitan Review
website to be a remarkable enough example of medical malpractice to
be worth quoting: "All this was cruelly interrupted by illness. The
first signs came soon after the Chilean earthquake in February,
wrongly diagnosed as epilepsy.""
