TK, actually A girl is right. There are a lot of details about this story that make zero sense. From a lawyer’s perspective, it’s right up there on the Sound Facts Scale with the one about microwaving a poodle.

Are there frivolous lawsuits? Sure are. Are there unfair medical practice lawsuits? Indeed. Are there lawsuits that mysteriously are only reported on this blog, with no attribution, that make anyone even vaguely familiar with how trials work go “huh”? No.

My husband and I are 54 and 47. He was impotent when I met him years ago, but can still orgasm through oral sex. So guess what? That would have truly been a bad thing for us.

I shall certainly stay away from fish from now on!!

Yes, when I heard this case the first thing I wondered was about appeal considering the judge’s comments. However, apparently the insurance company attorneys decided since the amount was very low (relatively speaking), it was not worth the time or expense involved.

I must confess to being a little confused - is there no basis for appeal based on the judge’s comment? I have heard of cases thrown out (however, they were in Australia) based on the judge’s description of “beyond a reasonable doubt” - surely this is even more capable of being appealed?

She should have been asked to perform OS on any male of her choice in the courtroom (hopefully, the judge). Case closed!

Any competent attorney would have called for a mistrial based on the judge’s remarks. And would have won.

But who says attorney’s are competent?

30 years ago, when I was into that sort of practice, the radiologist took a small piece of cotton, dipped in gastrografine or some other radio-opaque fluid and made the patient swallow it. Then he did the lateral x-ray; if the cotton was stuck somewhere in the esophagus it lighted up like a christmas tree.

Is that obsolete? I haven’t been in an ER for years and years, being an OB now…

First of all, Was she a hooker? A high $ call girl from New York?
Was it interfering with her work?

Second,when I was 16, I had a fish bone puncture my throat too! I went to the ER the next day cause of the pain-It really felt like it was still there-
ER doc took a look, put a little silver nitrate (I think) on the puncture and I was good to go! No law suits involved!
