Charlie would be dead if it wasn't for the intervention of a nurse who insisted the common test for bleeding be performed. Sure he went into it fast, but he thought that the doctors would do the right thing if any complications ocurred. If it was a family member of anyone who is complaining - I wonder what position would be taken then.</p> http://bostonist.com/2007/07/18/your_litigious.php#comment-1150810 http://bostonist.com/2007/07/18/your_litigious.php#comment-1150810 Comments Wed, 18 Jul 2007 22:22:31 -0500 <p>The man was 350 lbs, chose to have elective surgery having been told the risks, and has a less than ideal outcome. Of course he's gonna sue... those damn doctors must have made a mistake since the outcome was less than perfect. Gee, in football nothing ever goes wrong that the coach shouldn't have predicted and avoided! Right? Give us a break! Take responsibility for having gotten so fat as to have needed and insisted on rushing into elective surgery Coach! Surgery's a lot harder than coaching and you owe the doctors who tried to help you better than this lousy lawsuit.</p>
