A father-of-five who died after a blood clot and Q fever went undetected at a small rural hospital should have been transferred for specialised care, a coroner has found.

Paul Harris died at Hay District Hospital, in the NSW Riverina, on October 17, 2019, after being treated for a suspected case of community-acquired pneumonia.
