Settlement Agreements Are Safe Havens?
Throughout the professional communities, for example, lawyers, military, and physicians, there are sworn oaths taken before “officially” entering the work force of the chosen profession. The oaths vary of course, but the relatively similar tone the oaths take is “harming none and up holding the law.” The unfortunate issue for individuals who take the oaths, in some cases, comes when the mega company they end up working for turns out to be there to make a profit no matter what.
According to a report released from Bloomberg.com, a company recently saw fit to settle an investigation probe from the Justice Department concerning defective life saving medical supplies/equipment. The monstrous injustice exists because this is not the first time a settlement had to be paid; this is more like the third settlement, according to the article. This is an injustice.
How many individuals suffered the (1) extreme of death for profit and (2) the softer extreme of a placebo effect, with the body being able to restart on its own?
The population has a general notion of what happens and transpires for some court cases due to blips on the mainstream media; however, many in the media do not disclose the monopoly ties corporations such as scientific and banking institutions have when it comes to making money. This is the gamble of life and death through settlement cases. Even with the health care system being ‘overhauled’ here in the United States, it is not appearing to address the institutions that provide the defected medical equipment.
The injustice should have been exposed further and broken down to protect the citizens of the nations. Apparently, a settlement can be reached, bartered, and the unpleasant issues of death by defect, can still be swept under the rug for the next slaughtered oath.
