The hospital isn't responsible for him not being able to stand the sight of blood. It's a personal condition; it just happens to some folks. I have no problem with blood but have seen people go pale and woozy just seeing a drop of it. They're responsible for their own comportment.

Never mind sheer bad luck.

Who'da thought he'd hit himself in such a way that he would die from it?

Many people faint and fall in apparently bad ways but don't hemorrage and die. Others get unlucky and hit a badly placed item that increases chances of it being a fatal injury.

This is sheer bad luck.

I'm sick of sheer bad luck being a reason to sue others.

And I'm sick of sue-happy people - REGARDLESS OF THEIR PITIABLE CIRCUMSTANCES - whose childish, selfish reactions make you feel stone-cold against them during their bad times.

This just proves (again) that some people will try to sue over anything. Nobody forced the guy to go in to coach along his wife in the delivery room. What did he think would happen in there? Women get epidurals, shots, episiotomies, etc.

This case should be thrown out and the not-so-bereaved money-grubbing wife and her lawyer should pay court costs and fines.

You...are...completely...effing...wrong.
The suit isn't about his "personal condition." And you're not "responsible" for your "own comportment" if the HOSPITAL calls on you to be part of the procedure. She will win, she will win a big settlement, and likely before trial.
