    “A federal judge in Baltimore threw out McEwen’s lawsuit earlier this year. The 55-year-old McEwen suffered a massive stroke in November 2005 that he says could have been avoided if he’d received treatment for stroke-like symptoms two days earlier.”

    1) is mr mcewen a medical professional?

    2) did he allow the so-called other expert professionals to look at his medical file?

    stroke might have even happened even if he had the so-called treatment. he did not die from his mis-diagnosis. then again, he could have had that stomach flu.

    all this amounts to, is i could have had a physical done and then 2 – 3 days later or a month later had something happen. so do i sue because it should have been caught before it went bad? so what makes this any different?

    MONEY. In the twisted world of the personal injury attorney, fantasy and mis-information trumps the truth and issues of liability because our un-educated juries react to symathy and somebody, anybody, should pay.

    Wait a minute, wudchuck…

    He sought medical treatment for “stroke-like symptoms,” but the doctor said it was a stomach flu and sent him home. Then, 2-3 days later he is diagnosed with a STROKE!

    How is this NOT a failure to diagnose case? This doesn’t seem frivolous, atleast on the surface – this is exactly what civil courts are for.

    It seems obvious to me how this is different than coming down with something a few days or months after a physical.

    so, if we don’t agree with an opinion of a doctor, most folks would go get a second opinion. so if he agreed that his doctor was correct, then why do you think otherwise? it does not sound like its malpractice. i think he just wants justificiation thinking that he might have gotten a stroke, but then again, he might have gotten it anyways. i think he’s just trying to cover his medical bills w/o using his own money/insurance.

    Life is short and things happen in our lives. When will the public understand that professionals do their best. Research before you go to a doctor, get the best one. Then let the chips fall where they may. That is just life!

    People wonder why healthcare costs so much. Get rid of these law suits and healthcare would be reduced by 30% overnight.

    Funny how one side thinks all lawsuits are frivalous unless they filed them .If you get rid of plaintiffs attorneys defense attorneys should suffer the same remedy .If you give up your right to free speech they might give up their right of redress.

    I know a Registered Nurse who the doctor made an error during her routine colonoscopy which put her in ICU and gave her years of pain and suffering, and thousands of dollars in medical bills; and after the doctor admitted fault and the hospital TOOK RESPONSIBILITY for the error–now five years later, the lawyers are refusing to represent her in court-saying that nothing was wrong. FUNNY, HOW DOCTOR AND LAWYERS CAN just kick you to the curb and say your case does NOT MATTER. AMAZING!
