Yes, that is precisely the point.
I will soon have hernia surgery. A lot of my recovery will depend on my following proper post-surgery home care routines, taking my antibiotics, not lifting heavy stuff, etc.
The point people on the thread were making is that a significant portion of the responsibility for a successful recovery for me, for example, following my hernia surgery rests in my own hands.
So, if the woman didn’t properly home care her toe infection, that could be a factor if this action goes to a civil suit.
I plan to take darn good home care following my hernia surgery. :)
All this will come out in discovery, Of course any Medical folks will shift blame to the plaintiff if there is a record of them not following “procedures”.
Wait till we get Obamacare.
