Subject: RE: RE: RE: Bad Call
doctors are always trying to make the proper call. they don't try to make a mistake, because it can cost that person a problem later on in life. but there are sometimes when life has played you a card that you have to deal with.
i have compassion for this couple, but in the end. do we truly know that $38 mil is a lot of money - ?? do we truly know the amount of bills that will be acquired and the costs? i hope that this money is being put into a trust that will collect interest and if there is more than enough money, that the money returns back to the doctor. i think this was an overzealous amount being given by the jury. i think that there should be a mediator possible that will verify the bill appropriately and pay correctly.
my prayers are for the family that a miracle might happen!
