    Re: DD: Plaintiff's Counsels...Keep Up the Good Work

    Good point. Ignorance is no defense and small comfort to those whose
    lives were destroyed.

    On a more positive note, a change in climate has drastically improved
    my respiratory health and outlook. It is just scary to have lost so
    very much due to someone's negligence. It is another thing to be
    dismissed as inconsequential and unimportant. Logically, no one
    would be willing to risk their health and everything important to
    them to 'scam' another over this. We are not talking about physical
    injury, i. e. whiplash, that can be faked. If I, or people like me
    are faking, then the countless doctors that we have seen must be very
    gullible.
