There really should be a cap on awards like this. More along the lines of how much income that person would have lost in a normal working life, if the damage prevents them from working.

Having been on the receiving end of "managed care" for a number of years, I am not in favor of any limits on awards. I fully believe that the only thing which stood between my family and medical care worse than that received in most third-world countries was the threat of massive lawsuits.

Well then, with that attitude, please don't be surprised when the day finally arrives when you WILL be recieving third-world medical care, AT BEST. Because there will be none other to be had and no one will want to assume the risks in treating YOU.
