In 'Rare' Circumstances, Ending in Death. What?

Anna,

What all that mumbo jumbo means, is that regardless what you sign, they can be sued anyhow.  And there is always some legal loophole a savvy lawyer can come up with.  The best part is that it all worked out for you.  A

Hey Anna,
Glad you're still alive and kicking.  Everyone has a CYA clause these days.

Hi Anna:

That WOULD be quite an eye opener. I've seen that on a couple of meds I've had to take in the past!

You are probably the only patient that ever read that before signing.  I would have been hesitant too.  Glad it worked out. 

Some disclosures on medical products can indeed be startling!  I remember several years ago, I had to have a "bleeding time" test.  The disclosure I had to read before it, made it sound like they would be taking a guillotine to my arm.  I was scared to death.  When I took my seat in the lab technician's chair, she brought the tiny little guillotine out, and went snap to my inner elbow.  I then immediately passed out, and woke thereafter on the floor, with a fan blowing on my face!  The test itself wasn't bad.  But my episode was clearly a testament to how I had digested the disclosure information.

CONGRATULATIONS Anna, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Club group!  

Hi Anna- Joseph Domino 480-390-6011 makes an excellent point. Glad that everything worked out well for you.  I used to Google every prescription I'd get to read the side-effects until I realized that if I kept reading it I'd never take anything. 

It's always interesting read, when you read the fine print... LOL

Ron and Alexandra Seigel are right - your husband could still have sued them! 

That death warning on most medications is an eye-opener, for sure, Anna. Or when you sign permission for a surgery, however, "simple." I learned a long time ago to review the more obscure items in our contracts with my clients so they understand what they are signing.

Good for you for reading the entire document and calling them on it. And I'm glad you're alive and well!

Hi Anna Banana Kruchten CRS CRB, Phoenix Broker - legal can really kill things.  I used to have this conversation with employment attorneys about Handbooks.

Hello Miss Anna Banana Kruchten CRS CRB, Phoenix Broker I have not yet seen a warning that does not include, in rare circumstances, or in some cases, death. 

Whatever it was ... good to know laughs were had and all is well. 

Always talk to the doctor when the side effects could be that severe! My goodness! Glad it worked out!

You've obviously never sky-dived! Death is what is part of every waiver in jumping. Sign and jump I say...and I do!

I think you were wise for asking for clarification. We get a kick out of watching commercials for medicines. Quite often, the side effects sound worse than the infliction. :)

Don't you love the commercials with that disclosure listed at the end of side effects and say if you have any of them to stop taking the med immediately.  Pretty sure death stops everything immediately.

Anna, Makes me think of all the warnings given on TV commercials for medications.  Glad you had a good chat with your doctor and had a chance to talk real estate!!

That's called a CYA form, Anna!

Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, CRB, Phoenix Broker  how did I miss this post? I totally get it. It is amazing how Realtors and Doctors need to shroud themselves with all these legal mumbo jumbo... the reality is if someone gets angry no matter what disclosures have been signed there will be Legal Action... on a side note do you see better now?:)Endre
