Quote of the Day

Some douche tried to commit suicide has now won a case for over $125,000 US by suing the hospital who treated him for malpractice. Which may seem reasonable until you consider the fact that this douche wanted to KILL HIMSELF.

Michael Dexter took a cocktail of around 100 pills with rum and cola in December 2002.

Now he has received an out-of-court payout following a six-year legal fight after he was given at least four times the correct dose of neutralising drugs in A&E.

He was rushed to Blackburn Royal Infirmary after his wife Stephanie and young sons Martin and Trevor returned to the family home in Oswaldtwistle, Lancs, to find he had overdosed.

His legal team said that the excessive dose of drugs administered in A&E caused severe tissue damage to his right arm, which he described as ‘third-degree burns’.

Mr Dexter, who made a second suicide attempt three years later, said: ‘I know they saved my life but if you went in with a heart attack you wouldn’t expect to leave with a limb you can’t use.

‘I had to go to a burns specialist for plastic surgery. They removed tendons from the wrist and I have had three skin grafts.

‘There are not many people who come out of hospital worse than when they went in.’

‘I cannot even cuddle my wife with my right hand now,’ he said.

You know why else you wouldn’t be able to cuddle her? BEING DEAD. UGH.
