Do you think Dr. Richard (Juke) should have been held responsible for the boys death. If so, to what degree ?

He may have been partially responsible for not doing the testing. Today with all the regulations insurance companies set to save money, there are a lot of tests not routinely done. Doctors are also busy seeing so many patients. Either way, he felt remorseful. I felt bad for him. That's a lot of guilt to have to live with. Belle also felt guilty for asking for some medication to help with the boys anxiety. It's possible it wasn't related to the medication as all but by something else alltogether. We will never know.

To some degree, yes. Even though he was overloaded with patients and charts, he should have taken the time to research the medication before prescribing. If you have ever bothered to read the information that comes with medications, you will see all the possible side effects and warnings. At the very least he should have gotten a reprimand.
