Hi Mark,

I couldn't agree with you more! I was actually discussing this today with one of my sisters, so we will see what happens. My Dad is like you, in that he does not believe in frivilous lawsuits. However, he is quite pissed about this - his life was in jeopardy! Also, not to mention the turmoil our lives have been in, especially my poor mother, who hasn't left his side in the past month and a half.

It was absolutely horrible seeing him the way he was, and to think it was solely caused by human incompetance. I can't believe that happened to your friend's mother (well actually I can now), how terrible. Actually, today my boss told me that her daughter-in-law went through the same thing with her mother... She rushed home to IRELAND thinking her mother was dying, only to find out they were overdosing her on morphine. Very sad.
