At 9 o'clock that night, while Mr. Ma was still obviously unwell, the health center continued to scrape and apply medicinal oil to Mr. Ma. At about 1: 30 the next morning, Mr. Ma had difficulty breathing. His relatives called the emergency number 120, and the ambulance personnel arrived at the scene to confirm that Mr. Ma had died.
Entrusted by the Judicial Appraisal Center, the death of Mr. Ma was appraised. Mr. Ma meets the conditions of central nervous system vasculitis complicated with intracranial hemorrhage, and heat injury is an auxiliary factor of death.

On the whole, the center has a great fault. The court found that it was liable for 60% of the losses caused by Mr. Ma's death and compensated Mr. Ma's family for more than 350,000 yuan.
