The DJ's told her that the headache wasn't a problem. They dismissed a caller who told them that it was dangerous.

So, you're telling me that the DJs are also physicians and this is their second job? They offered an opinion, NOT medical advice. You know the saying, "Opinions are like belly-buttons, everybody's got one." Bottom line, each of us is responsible for ourselves and our own well-being . . . . NOT the government, NOT a radio station DJ, NOT the bartender at your favorite watering hole, NOT the newspaper or pizza delivery person . . . . . . WE have that obligation to protect ourselves.

But, if you think it's someone else's responsibility, you're going to LOVE HillaryCare.

Is this going to have an effect on those hot dog eating contests? Those are about the sickest events I have ever seen....or since hotdogs don't affect the electolytes then there is no problem? Just up-chucking?

'They offered an opinion, NOT medical advice'

A nurse called in and told the DJ's that what they were doing was not dssafe and can kill them. The DJ blew it off and stated as if he was absolutely sure that this could not kill her.

The onus was on them to guarantee a modicum of safety to their contestants. Just like I assume my employer performs regular maintenance on my work truck there's a degree of assumption a person makes every day concerning possible fatal things which are completely reasonable.
