Epic huge law suit anyone?

 

[chaohsiangchen]

I wonder how many will sue the hospital for this mistake.

Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

Sounds very similar to the Therac-25 problems from 1985-1987...

What I find scary is that it only took 8x the correct dose to cause radiation poisoning and hair loss

Only? To be honest I am surprised no one died...

 

[Hellbound]

Thats one expensive oops...

Don't worry, this will never happen under Oboma Care if it passes (pray it doesn't), they are perfect and will run our medical care, flawlessly with little wait times under Socialized medicine and for much less money and no new taxes.

See, now THIS is the kind of case you should sue over, and yet I see no mention of anyone taking any sort of legal action. WTF? People will sue over anything and NOTHING happens here?

 

[ssalim]

Take some Rad-Aways (Fallout 3). Haha. Sorry.

The health care situation in America is fine and needs no over site, as this case clearly points out. Doctors have to ask bureaucrats to approve a treatment, pills with several times the active ingredient, medications rushed through testing only to be pulled three years after release when the body count starts rising, and insurance companies committing serial murders by refusing treatments that are considered experimental ten years into use. It isn't the cheapest, it isn't even the best but it is highly profitable.

People be damned give us the money, the new health care motto on the states.
