What the heck is going on!
Mans sues Hospital for saving his lafe after attempting to commit suicide
Then he complains; "There are not many people who come out of hospital worse than when they went in." "I cannot even cuddle my wife with my right hand now. I'm still able to drive but I have a job putting the keys in the ignition. I can't dry glasses or cook dinners. I used to love gardening but I don't do that now." You came out alive mate! Is your wife a ghost? Did you intent cuddling her from beyond the grave? And do I really want a suicidal man with a withered arm driving a car in the city I ride my bike in? Honestly! And yes, I realise the staff gave him too much medicine, but........... gah! I dispair! And breathe..... |

WTF? What an ungrateful eejit. Bet his wife is happy he's still with her, I think a useless arm would be the least of her worries!

I'm thinking his wife wasn't in on the suicide attempt, otherwise he wouldn't have been rushed to a&e and just left to die peacefully with her by his side. I suppose things are not that simple these days, she'd probably be had up for murder then :rolleyes: Obviously having not been given all the information, I;m just assuming, but seems a bit of an odd state of affairs! |

Mate who is a paramedic often complains about the pill takers.
Why have you called us out? because I have taken an overdose Why did you do that? because I want to die So tell me again why did you call us out? Because I have taken a bloody overdose. are you thick or something. I have had one friend top himself, he was a doctor and took 10 times the lethal dose to make sure. on top of a bottle of vodka The daughter who works at the local A&E tells me they get playing a suicide in weekly. If they want to do it, they can make sure they cannot be saved. This one suing because he survived beggars belief. |

Have a friend who tried to do the same, and the fact he downed vodka and not water actually saved his life. Thankfully his life is good now and he's ok :) |
Re: What the heck is going on!
Totally alien concept in law,but its clearly about time we rediscovered the difference between those who deserve compensation and those who dont.
It seems odd that you can sue someone else for negligence when that negligence was entirely dependant(but not caused) on your own stupidity in the first place. A similar one would be the case of the jumper who failed to get killed by the tube train but tries to sue for subsequent burns when rail staff are too slow to get the power turned off. Its a mad old world. |
Re: What the heck is going on!
If this wasn't an attempted suicide case then nobody would pass comment and nobody would be bothered about the compo.
I would remind you, dear reader, that the health service is not there to judge the patient on the cause of admission. Would you tolerate a biker having poor treatment because they undertake a "dangerous" pastime? Without trying to be emotive; man in hospital has incompetent treatment = compo. |

I agree with what you`re saying tho it`s the irony of the thing!! |
Re: What the heck is going on!
Instead of him getting £90,000 compo, he should have been made to pay for the cost of the time and treatment he was given by Ambulance staff and A+E Staff and no doubt what ever ward he was later put in.
