Might as well start this thread before Coonass gets here(not that it won't stop him from starting his own...)


Abram Family sues OM, IHL, NCAA, and 20+ others....


quote:

When autopsy reports were made public in May, it was determined that Abram died from complications related to sickle cell trait, exertion and an enlarged heart. Abram’s father said at the time that his family had a history of sickle cell trait. “But I don’t know if we ever even discussed it,” he said at the time. “I didn’t really know something this serious could happen because of it.”

So, if you know your family has a history of sickle cell anemia, you don't bother to find out from your doctors or ANYONE (internet included) if there are any risks to your child?

I would understand his statement of "I didn't really know something this serious could happen because of it" SORT OF. but, to know??

I feel for him deeply, though. I can't imagine losing one of my kids. I can't say if I would be looking for anyone to blame or if I wouldn't, or how I would be doing it.

In the article, the family blames OM for not informing the kid of his blood work when he first walked on, yet the father claims he was aware of the sickle trait in his family history. If anything it sounds like negligence on the family's part
