The dude won 90K pounds (about $127K)

If this had happened in the U.S. the fucker probably would have gotten millions.

XPays · 03-06-2009, 01:43 PM

that is nutz

Fletch XXX · 03-06-2009, 01:47 PM

your title is misleading homie, he sued for physical damage done by the doctors, not for "saving his life. ;)

he sued because they pumped too much drugs in him and caused damage to his body, just like the woman who won case in america recently .

Quote:

was given an excessive amount of neutralising drugs.

These caused severe tissue damage to his right arm, which he described as 'third degree burns'.

He said: 'I know they saved my life but if you went in with a heart attack you wouldn't expect to leave with a limb you can't use.

"'There are not many people who come out of hospital worse than when they went in.'"

hrmm....
i'd think being dead would be far worse than having a gimpy arm..
but thats just me.

wolferr · 03-06-2009, 01:54 PM

"i'd think being dead would be far worse than having a gimpy arm..

yea but his initial idea was to commit suicide, so by his thinking he is worse then when he started ie. still alive and now with a fucked up arm lol.

Doctor Feelgood · 03-06-2009, 01:58 PM

if you have a signed "do not resuscitate" then you can sue

My bad.

Still a fucked up situation though. Lawsuit abuse appears to be a worldwide phenomenon.

Naphtansa · 03-06-2009, 02:22 PM

Just think how many young people with families will be fired by the hospital to pay this guy.

assholes from the hospitals 'assumed' he wanted to be saved.

mind your own business next time

seeandsee · 03-06-2009, 02:29 PM

omg that's nice buck

DrChango · 03-06-2009, 02:37 PM

He was a fucking engineer and couldn't figure how to kill himself? He looks like a total douche too. Surprised some soccer hooligans haven't knifed him yet!

Actually if the paramedics hadn't brought him to the hospital, and the people from the hospital hadn't tried to save him, his family could have sued and would have won. So the people in the health care industry were fucked because this idiot decided to take too many pills.

Don't be such an asshole next time.

SmokeyTheBear · 03-06-2009, 03:10 PM

The hospitals lawyers suggested a settlement offer that they just kill the guy.

_Richard_ · 03-06-2009, 03:15 PM

If I want to take my own life, the last thing I need is some assholes 'saving' me

WTF, leave the man alone

Well for some stupid reason suicide is illegal in most places.

Also, if they changed the law to indemnify health care providers for denying care to people who have attempted suicide, then they could "leave the man alone".

Until then, they have to try and save him or the lawsuit would have been much bigger.

(BTW, I for one am totally in favor of you taking your own life and will do everything in my power to stop some assholes from saving you if you choose to do so)
