Mommas....don't let your children grow up to become lawyers.
Yes she died but was she slender? Sorry for being tacky but I am not a fan of alternative medicine, especially when you have cancer.
But the one who believed in the treatment won't be able to testify.
That is an odd title....one hopes the defendant said it before she died and not afterwards.
FCOL, the woman made a decision. Nobody twisted her arm. Dear God I'm so tired of the "victim" syndrome in this country. The woman would probably have died even if she had the chemo. Dr. Atkins didn't go out and drag her in off the street. I would chose alternative medicine because I would not saddle my family with huge medical bills. Better to die and be done with it. And my family had better not sue anybody either.
Let's face it. She didn't want chemo.
I'm sure she left a great lookin' corpse! ;-)
Medical news tell us all the time about dietary means as lowering cancer risk, etc.....every day, it's a new thing!
Great. Now we have dead people suing dead people. Another sign that "lawyering" has gotten out of control.
Lots of people die of cancer every day under many different treatment programs. Where was this womans family through all of this???
On the positive side, it should cut down on lengthy examination and cross-examination.
Ah vanity! I'm gonna look good if it kills me!
Oh good Lord.she was a grown adult who made a decision about her own personal care. She made the wrong one. But who's to know if this would have turned out the same no matter what treatment she choose.
I wonder what the survival rate is for type two breast cancer victims after chemo?
Suits can be killed and speak in the afterlife.
Your grammar school marm surrenders.
Not very good. It often goes into remission only to come back with vengence.
OK. So, assume that this woman also knew her chances of survival after a second round of chemo were slim, why not take a chance on an alternative therapy?
The only treatment a cancer patient seems to be offered in this country is radiation (like being a mile away from ground zero at Hiroshima) or chemo (lose all body hair, live in a "clean-room" and die after becoming a wasted skeleton). And for that, they blame Atkins?
