Been there – YOU don\’t get it. You know nothing about me. As a matter of fact, I DID almost die and had I been a fat slob, I would have. My condolences to your wife and kids.
What you crazy liberals do not get is that there are big risks to this type of surgery. If the doctors advised of the risks ahead of time and made no errors they should not be held financially accountable for unexpected complications. My opinion is that if you cannot prove a mistake by the doctors in court than the plaintiff and his attorney should be forced to pay back the doctors for their defenses costs. This type of surgery is very risky and anybody contemplating it should first try exercise and diet. Yes, if the doctor cut him open and forgot to stitch him up they should be held accountable by their colleagues and liable for civil damages. The problem with our system is that when something goes wrong out of the doctors control people still want to file suit and collect big bucks. Also, when they are liable the dollars given are often way out of line. When insurance companies pay out big med malpractice claims they simply pass the premium increase on to the doctors/hospitals. The doctors and hospitals have to charge more which in turn raises health costs, which in turn raises health insurance for individuals and businesses. Wonder why people are having a hard time affording healthcare? You simply have to be above average intelligence to figure it out. Sorry you liberals are not high enough. Why should a person who makes $30,000 a year be entitled to actual and punitive damages of say $40 million? In their lifetime they would not have seen any where close to that money. The jury thinks the damages are punitive to the doctor but really it is just punitive to society who will pay the cost. Any idea what an OBGYN\’s med malpractice costs a year? It is in the high 6 digits. That is just for one doctor. The article does not really clarify if there were any real mistakes made. I don\’t think any prior comments were meant to wish harm on the coach. Instead I think they are simply trying to say that he has a lot of responsibility for what happened to him and maybe he is not entitled to a big payout.
Munch- I\’m sure you\’re so fat that by the time you would have attempted to raise your foot to me you\’d either fall over dead from a heart attack or I would have lit you up like a fire, so fast, you wouldn\’t know what hit you.
These comments are all a very reflection of the lack of respect for anyone today. I actually read hateful words in most of the responses to this article.
I sure hope and pray I do not know you people and also that you are not parents teaching your children the same prejudices, callousness and lack of caring for their fellow man. God help our future if you are…..
Yes, there is negligence in many areas, doctors, patients, diring cars, flying, working, how we live (not just fat or thin but how we treat each other) and lots of other ways. There are also unpreventable, hereditary medical conditions that may make someone fat, skinny, cancerous, diabetic, have alzheimers, a hundred or more other medical conditions – that cannot be predicted and very often except through medicine, can be corrected or controlled.
This world would be so much better with less bitterness, prejudice, lack of mercy, and discrimination. These are the things that lead to fights, murder, wars, all kinds of bad things.
Please re-think your words and actions and make this world a better place.
If there\’s ever a surgery that can actually transform your run-of-the-mill a$$hole into a genuine, good ol\’ nice guy, I think you all need to sign up, whatever the risk…

Hey so-called Reagan, you are a d-o-p-e.
Been there – YOU don\’t get it. You know nothing about me. As a matter of fact, I DID almost die and had I been a fat slob, I would have. My condolences to your wife and kids.
Hey Munch…Munch this
Were they trying to make his stomach SMALLER or BIGGER?
They were trying to get \”Reagan\’s\” foot out of his mouth and my foot out of his arse.
