I'm not for nor against what he is doing to be honest. I just think people, including the media, are missing the real issue at hand, which is this man's mental state.

absolutely, waking up and being the result of a medical blunder is not going to help his being at all. who wouldn't feel worse off for it?

my point is that this man needs professional, psychological help more than he needs money, and I think his efforts would be greater rewarded if, instead of sueing the medical profession, he concentrated on getting better and getting to the root of his mind-state.

a drawn out, public inquiry, court hearing and legal battle does nothing for persona nor frame of mind. for someone already in a fragile state, this really could tip the balance. for his sake and the sake of his family, I hope it won't be a case of 3rd time lucky.

yes, the doctors/nurses made a massive mistake, and by all means should be investigated. but sueing them dry when hospital budgets are already so very very tight is only going to deny someone else requiring the service and attention they might need in an emergency.


seek compensation, yes, but why not look for free private health care (including psychological) for him and his family for the remainder of his life - something more useful and less demanding on an already over-stretched health system.
