"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.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
The jury returned a verdict against Goldsmith and Stamford Medical Group of $6 million in damages and $4 million for loss of consortium; the judge added $6 million in interest because the defendants had rejected a settlement offer by Vita Carlson's lawyers of $1 million.
ADDENDUM: The judge's award and the verdict were overturned by the state's Supreme Court because the judge failed to allow the defense to argue that their liability was less than another physician who settled with the plaintiff. The other physician, by the way, paid substantially less than $16 million. posted by Sydney on
