Question 2

my dad died of bowel injury sepsis septic shock. doc hid all and said dad had heart attack natural causes, pathologist in on it... public inquiry and

Accepted Answer

This is a serious: allegation. I recommend that you report your concerns to your local medical society and/or the medical licensing board. They can initiate an independent investigation of your father's medical records and of his doctor's conduct and abilities.  While sadly this won't bring your father back, it may prevent harm to someone else in the future.

Dehydration: Pelletized stool is most often due to inadequate fluids or an excee of caffeinated  or alcoholic fluids, both of which dehydrate you.
