Frivolous Lawsuit???????????

I am hoping you are being sarcastic and it's only a joke to you about it being frivolous.

Then again, we have folks on here proud to admit they voted Obama.

so if they were free and clear of any and all mistakes they make,than who should pay for em?i got an idea,lets give everyone free reigns,lawyers,car mechanics,of course every single business in the U.S.,lets hold noone acountable for anything he/she does wrong,the reason i had a stroke is because the doctors missed a clot on a brain MRI,i didn't anyone cause ultimately it was my fault that i was in the predicament that i was in,BUT if the doctors had done their jobs correctly they woulda seen the clot before i had a very life altering stroke,so who's fault was that?i had great insurance?and also i evedently i had a great surgeon,probably the insurance company more than anyone they don't like payin for nuthin.

That doesn't make any sense. A roofer can get sued, a carpenter, a truck driver, landscape architect, a small business can get sued if you trip or slip in there parking lot.
But a doctor who works in clean well lit conditions with a staff supporting him should just be let off the hook when he amputates the wrong leg, or prescribes a dose of meds so incorrectly that they become lethal, or takes such a shoddy look at your charts [he needs to get to a golf game] that he misses a detail that costs you your life?
No reason a doc needs any more protection than the rest of us.

What was that doctor thinking? Should have done the surgery that was in the chart and talked to the guy later about the cancer problem. Waking up to 'Mr. Johnson' has left the building would be a nightmare. What do you do after that? Dang skippy I would sue the Dr.

.

Surely the OP is kidding, surely.

Yea I was kidding but some argue it, Id say this guy will be rich but if it was me I doubt I would ever see a penny of it, I would probably get in some big trouble over that. Terrible, Doc must have been Drunk Or On Pills, Something.
