"Settled In the Courts"! What a Great statement that comes in handy all too often. It is also a Double edged sword that cuts both ways. "O.J.'s" Case was "Settled in the Courts". Did you like the outcome?? Playing Devil's advocate here, Maybe just like O.J.'s Case, (Where The Jury Decided Society needed to learn a lesson, Not O.J.) The Jury Decided Exxon had Treated Dwayne wrong by not informing him for 20 months of his medical condition( No matter what the cause was of the cancer). He would have been 20 months ahead of the Game in treatment! That Fact alone could have been the difference between life and his certain premature Death. For That, EXXON needed to learn a lesson. Maybe the juror's remebered The Alaskan wildlife that was destroyed By The Exxon "Valdez"?? Many variables come into play in a High powered Court Room Drama such as this was. I was not there. I Feel Great sadness as there are so many loser's in this story. who are the winner's? The Kirkham's threw their Hat in the ring at the right time with the right offer to do the right thing. That was great and many Love them for it. Others will accuse them of Being Oppurtunistic. I am waiting for Quotes like "They knew the Car would never have been turned over to them anyway". Is the Viper Squad now going to be Winner's as they stood together as a group united to Help Dwayne before the C.C. squad?? I for one have a new found appreciation for them. for that new "Brotherhood" we are all Winner's. Was Anthony's Post Appropriate given the Sensitive Nature of the thread? who among us is to judge really? (There is an opening for someone...) I do not know Anthony, but I understand that Doctor's develop a "Thick skin", and may come off as abrasive due to the fact that they have to deal with People who are dying every Day. sometimes while they are working on them. unfortunately if they had Super emotions in every Case they handled, they would not be able to do their job for very long as they would have a total breakdown. Let's also realize that Dwayne's Attorney probably Pocketed 40% of the 5.1 Million Dollar "Award" thus reducing Dwayne's Payout. I Hope Anthony was only trying to pose some facts to give us some understanding about his knowledge of Cancer in an instructional fashion. Maybe even convince a couple of Smoker's to quit while they are still able to drive their Cobra's. let's save the Lynch mob mentality for Roy Hunt, and whoever at S.A.I. is responsible for not seeing this matter was completed.
