Sue, Sweet Sue - not a song, an industry

New industry getting larger all the time.

Suing surgeries that go wrong, must be one heck of a business, just think about it.

Some guy with no money, tells his Doctor of a problem he is having. The Doctor gets paid.

So the Doctor sends him to a specialist, who also gets paid, even more.

Then the Specialist sends him to a surgeon who decides that surgery is called for.

So, into the hospital for an operation, so the hospital, the surgeon and a whole variety of other "specialists" get paid.

Then, not to be outdone, and it is decided that the operation was not successful, so they sue, all of the above, probably, plus a pharmaceutical company that got involved somehow.

So now, the attorney, the judge, and a whole variety of other "specialists" get paid.

It may start over, he may need corrective surgery, to correct the first surgery, which he really may not have needed in the first place, but look how the economy prospered from all of this, and guess who paid for it all, the taxpayers.

And if you have gotten sick, or not had success, with a medication you are taking, there is a law firm ready to do your suing. I wish I had the ambition to start a website devoted to compiling a list of all the law firms, and what they are looking to sue for. That way you could just look it up and see if what you are taking could result in a lawsuit.

Ain't our system grand?
