I assume you're paralysed then since you volunteered your opinion on this matter?

The only opinion I gave you was that of the fact that I suspected you had no practical experience with these products.

Which is true, isn't it?

Off to youtube to find a rather vague 47 seconds of someone using one, possibly the first time by the mile wide grin on his face and the handler behind him ::)

Sorry to disturb your quest to weigh in on subjects you know nothing of - I hope that you are not afflicted with something like that, one day and consequently do not have to have endure some fucking random kunt on the internet who knows absolutely nothing about what he is talking about* dictating what you should or should not be doing.

(* credit where credit is due, you do know that wheelchair sport is GREAT ::))

He always had a ton of oil in his arms...I think it's funny how it's implied that people should be entitled to give him money...Much worse things happen to much less popular people..He's lucky he's getting any support whatsoever...Was never an elite athlete

That's a shitty story but why just not use a wheel chair - and not raise $200k for a fancy tech toy he's convinced himself he needs? How many kids would $200k save in developing countries?
Children in developing countries shouldnt be saved, it just enables them to grow up and breed like fuck while not being able to support their offspring, it'sonly making things worse keeping them alive

Can someone please post a link to Kris's plight on Phil Heath's and Kai Greene's social media accounts? I'd like to compare their responses. This could have happened to either of them.

Phil will probably accuse Kris of being a hater.

If his injuries were cause by negligence on the part of the anesthesiologist, surgeon or hospital, then the malpractice award should be covering all his needs. Maybe he needs a better lawyer.

There's nothing gay about saying 'negligence on the part of the anesthesiologist'  :D

I don't think entitled is quite the word you're looking for.

Or perhaps he made it all up? Pro BB-ers usually are quite creative with the truth....

Okay, 145k for a life-altering malpractice lawsuit of this type would be nothing. This would be a huge payout - many times that amount if it's true.

Either we are not getting the whole story here - or he has the worst lawyer of all days.

Calling Harley Breite...

Malpractice and Physician negligence suits are now capped in certain states.

If im not mistaken... Ca has a cap of 250k to the plaintiff and Ga its 350k.

Product liability still has an unlimited payout tho, so bad pills would allow a patient to sue for millions, bit malpractice or negligence has a cap.... a very low cap

Hard to have sympathy, given that being a drug addicted narcissist put him in harms way in the first place.

There should be no cap. Just alleviated shitty doctors who don't want to pay out. They kill someone and families are only awarded 250K. Ridiculous.

Medical industry is a scam.

Yeah, the worst part is in the Plastic Surgery capital of the world... of the surgery is botched, you get 250k, well after Lawyer fees, Expenses... you might get $125k... even if it results in your death...thats all the family gets...


basically in 2003-2005 there were huge AMA lobbyist that went to the state level lawmakers to get this cap.

Shit is crazy right.

In 2007 he had acute aortic dissection and stroke. The tear was repaired and the stroke resolved. I doubt he was stented for a dissection and was likely repaired with a graph.  Either way he should not have gone back to bodybuilding and competing at the Olympia level. The repair failed requiring them to go in again for a secondary repair and he was paralyzed.
To be 100% accurate its a stent graft
typically endovascular repair or EVAR
Via groin and deployed in the aorta.
