Rick Santorum goes around campaining for things like caps on medical malpractice at 250k. so what did he do when faced with a similar siruation:
Rick Santorum's Wife Karen Sued Doctor For $500,000, Despite Senator's Calls For Tort Reform
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has advocated capping medical malpractice awards at $250,000, but in 1999, his wife sued her doctor over a back injury and asked for twice that amount
As ABC News reports, Santorum's wife, Karen, sued a Virginia-based chiropractor for half-a-million dollars for allegedly bungling a spinal adjustment.
The suit charged that in November 1996, Karen saw Dr. David Dolberg for a spinal alignment, according to an article by Roll Call on Dec. 13, 1999. The adjustment, however, was performed improperly and resulted in a herniated disk that caused her physical pain and emotional suffering, and required surgery and multiple doctors' visits, she alleged.
She sued for $500,000, despite the fact that her medical bills totaled approximately $18,800.
