You think he might have lived longer without the surgery? Most likely.
“paid the family $6 million to settle the matter privately”
And they accepted? Sounds like that’s that.
He might have been better off having aliens probe him.....
Why settle for Mercy Hospital when the Cleveland Clinic is in its backyard?
Well, a good number of people do die after heart surgery, and being 82 years old doesn’t help. Also, as far as I know, he didn’t have any connection to Hillary, so that typical cause of usual demise is not a factor.
Probably just crappy medical care, at most, coupled with age.
A blackmail that would make Creepy Porn Lawyer Proud.
Look at what lights a fire under NYT butt.
Something that the Armstrong family might not want to see in a newspaper.
New York Times is fearless, isn’t it.
Mercy Health killed humankind’s first extra world explorer.
They killed the firsy man on the moon.
Put that on a tee shirt.
Only beaten by NASA losing the tapes of the first steps on the moon. Forevermore.
LMAO
Never treat a celebrity on Medicare. The risk benefit ratio is too high.
I’m not sure if he was on Medicare, but he probably was. If he was a regular Joe, there probably wouldn’t be a lawsuit or big settlement here for an 82 year old.
Pay wall.
Someone getting a kickback?
The merciless sisters of St. Louis strike again.
It isn’t about money. It is ALL about MONEY with them.
I hope I can die at home.
notice that the wife did not push this lawsuit nor asked for it, she was forced to sign off on it or loose her executor ship....
notice that the dil was the lawyer........
the hospital merely settled because they didn't want to have the national bruhaha over the death at their hospital of a national figure.....
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT DIEJUST BECAUSE THEY'RE 82 WITH SIGNIFICANT CARDIAC DISEASE which is poppycock....
I find that statement questionable. No legal defense team is going hire a potential hostile expert to be an expert witness on their defense.
As a side note, my brother-in-law was a highly respected Oncologist (now retired) here in S.E. Michigan who was approached by the sleeze bag Geoffrey Fieger law firm back in the 1990's to become a member of his medical "expert witness" group that would be called on anytime Fieger was pursuing a medical malpractice lawsuit........My BIL turned him down.
But there were many occasions where he was called on to give expert testimony on behalf of legal defense teams.......
It's a racket, you have crapbag lawywers -Fieger- and their crapbag doctors who will say anything in an attempt to win the case for their crapbag employer/lawyer.......
