In the spirit of April Fool’s Day, along with our pregnancy, I present a medical lawsuit for your perusal. With all these legal and crime shows on TV, I figure we’re all pretty much experts by now, right? What would you have done if you were on this jury?
Note – I don’t think the issue is a joke or is even slightly amusing, please don’t think the April Fool’s reference meant anything like that at all. The April Fool’s reference was more about the idea that most people would consider this a no-brainer, while some others think this is ludicrous. The hospital can’t be held liable for all the bad things that happen inside its walls – sometimes people simply can’t be helped.
I’m glad you clarified. I have to admit that the first time I read this, and the story, I wondered how it possibly had anything to do with April Fool’s.
Anyway, it’s a tough issue. I will try to solve it the next time I’ve had a few beers — I always seem to have great ideas when I’m a bit tipsy. Or at least they seem great at the time.
