(37,748 posts)I should have sued my friend for giving me penicillin when I received a terrible laceration on my head on a camping trip and blacked out. However, as I am allergic to penicillin, I had a pretty bad reaction to it. I guess I should sued the friend out of existence for negligence, my pain and my suffering. As he was "trying" to help without the relevant medical knowledge and made things unbelievably worse in a short period of time. But I didn't. We stayed close friends and laugh about to this day.
And to be honest, if I did sue him, regardless of the outcome, I would have been doing nothing but gaming the system, advertising my vulgarity, and letting everyone know that I'm not to be trusted if they try to help me-- regardless if they fail or not. But I'm rather certain you will imply that none of the above applies in your case...
I guess it comes down to what kind of people we are inside.
