The ethics of my accident

The suggestions from some quarters that Jamie deserved to be crippled by malpractice because of his decisions before the accident have been the most disturbing part of this affair to me.

And where exactly was this said? You can direct me to the post that said this can’t you? Thanks in advance.

There was for example this post and this one from Scissorjack, and this one from JohnT.

@Scissorjack

There’s karma, and then there’s straightforward cause and effect.

@Scissorjack

O, it was all just a mistake. I’m sorry I drank underage and crashed a car with my friend in the passenger seat and almost killed myself, it was all just a misunderstanding, it wasn’t a deliberate choice to do something selfish, dangerous and illegal, and it is somebody else’s fault I have to live with the consequences. Why, I oughta sue the guy that saved me, that’ll teach him with his fancy medical degree.

@JohnT

Had he not made the decision to be a drunk driver, he wouldn’t be paralyzed. Suing the doctor is nothing more than a transferance of guilt, a transferance he shouldn’t be allowed to make.
