"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.

Pain and Suffering: The sad case of a brain-damaged baby and his parents' $3 million settlement:
The settlement, approved by Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Hugh Mundy, will be allocated as follows: $1.11 million to the Philadelphia law firm of Kline and Specter for fees and costs; $6,239 to the state Department of Public Welfare to satisfy a lien; and $1.83 million to the boy's estate.
It's impossible to tell whether the damage to the baby occurred during the one and half hour labor and delivery, but it's equally impossible to argue that it didn't. And who do you think a jury's going to side with? A hospital or bereaved parents? No wonder they settled. posted by Sydney on
