From an ER doc, who eventually got dropped from the case. He notes the wording of the suit:
The language in the lawsuit struck me as ironic, however. It was the patient’s mother who had filed suit, and her attorney claimed that the patient “was a loving and dutiful child who provided (her) with joy, happiness, and anticipation of all the pleasures that a child can provide to parent, as well as the anticipation of care, counsel, advice, nurture, guidance, and affection.”Sheesh. He freaking killed himself because she kicked him out of her house after his latest arrest, and he was facing a long prison term. There was more crap in that statement than there ever was in his thigh.

You should read the wording when the obviously negligent defendant physician denies all responsibility, and denies the extent of the damage they’ve caused. It’s just as amazing.
oh wait, I forgot. Kevin doesn’t know of any physicians who have ever committed malpractice!
