This is not about litigation. It's about ensuring the costs of products/activities are reflected in their price. I would have thought the party of personal responsibility would think it's only fair that smokers, drinkers, etc should bear the costs of those activities (and not society at large) since they're the ones choosing to engage in those activities.

33k gun deaths a year, 80k injured.
33k die from car accidents, with an additional 2 million injured.
80k from diabetes with 30 million diabetics.
150k from long cancer. Approx 20 million.

Yet you only campaign for one.

Ban the medical field. It will also free up a sh!tload of money.

Exaggerate much? Please don't give the POS lawyers anymore ammo than they already make up.

Those were homicide deaths in your numbers. There are 20k+ plus suicides a year to go with that. Plus a number of "acceptable" government sourced shootings. Bringing the total up around 33k.

Ah, so WAY more suicides than homicides or dare we say, mass shootings?

I believe this.

 

[1972 Grad]

I believe this.

I thought it was more like 400,000+.

I thought it was more like 400,000+.

I would believe that too. I spent time with residents.

My mother died from sepsis after having a minor out patient procedure in the hospital. Who's fault was that? I'm kinda thinking it wasn't hers.

I don't know the details so i can't say but I object to transfers of pts if i think they will return to icu. I have no problem raising objections. Some people have forgotten their patient advocate status.
I'm sorry about your mom. My mother went through something similar.

My mother-in-law walked in the hospital on a Saturday morning with her legs swollen, and left in a hearse the next day after a scan with some kind of dye.

 

[VolStrom]

I actually hope that I get to die that quickly. Sometimes you have to look at the big picture.

That’s not sustainable, nor will it allow us to extend a middle finger to the Middle East

Based on the limited info, I’d bet she had an anaphylactic reaction to the contrast. Many don’t know they’re allergic until it’s too late unfortunately.

Very sorry for your and your wife’s loss.
