it goes back to being responsible. looking at today's society, they would rather blame others instead of themselves. they want money from folks whom can afford it, because they can't due to their mistake. like the other article in IJ, the man with the nail gun. he'd been in the construction business for 20 yrs, used a nail gun on metal and the nail rebounded back into his brain causing damage. the jury awarded him $3.4 mil! WHAT, that is ludicrous. you are going to tell me that he does not know how to read instructions and if not, then how has he been building for the past 20 yrs? so back this story; if she all these other meds for a long time, you wud think then it did not matter adding another one to the list. she was aware of the other side effects, whats to say it was a different med that caused the trip wire? or maybe she forgot to take that particular pill? do we sue because we forget to take one? come one and come all, let's start taking responsiblity for our own actions. remember that it's your life and money that's going to cost and not the other fella.
