You attempt CPR and accidentally break one of his ribs, while trying to resuscitate him. The patient is revived and rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. He survives. But he wants to sue you for breaking his rib. If he wins, your medical career will be over and you will have to give up being a doctor and you and your family will have to give up your comfortable and carefree lifestyles. You will lose everything, the house, the maids, the buttler, the country club memberships, the jewelry, the cars, the boat, the Harley, the summer home in the Bahamas ...everything. And if you don't go to jail, you probably would have to find work at McDonalds, and that's only if they hire you.
Is it possible the man will win the lawsuit?
