Re: Sues for wrongful death
[quote=NightMistBlue;374217]I read the Page Six article where shockingly the Doctor blames the plaintiff for Glenn's demise. Did he mean Cindy Frey or Glenn himself? He was saying they should have gotten help sooner, when Glenn started having breathing problems.[/quote
Perhaps he had lung disease on top of colitis. He was a big cigarette smoker back in the day.
We'll see!

There was never any mention of lung disease.

NMB, where are you reading about the breathing problems? Is there an updated/expanded version of the article?
Cindy Frey as an individual is indeed one of the plaintiffs (the other being Glenn’s estate).
In many states, if the dr/hospital can show that the injured party contributed to his own injuries, then that will reduce any damages awarded in the event the defendants are found negligent. So that claim is not unexpected.
There is so much unknown about the facts that I hesitate to say anything. We don’t know when or how often Glenn experienced breathing problems, for example. We don’t know what his doctors advised before and during the HOTE tour.
The lawsuit has led me to wonder if the hospital’s infection control procedures were properly followed and if the GI doc consulted with infectious disease specialists. Like Pippin said, I would want answers.
Re: Sues for wrongful death
My bad, peeps. It was Cindy who said the doctor took too long to address respiratory issues. Sometimes I read things too fast.
Re: Sues for wrongful death
the pneumonia was probably for the long time he had been in bed without moving too much. It's very common in inpatients or in the ICU.
It is usually the cause of death in these patients, no matter the underlying disease. It's either pneumonia or some other infection.
Re: Sues for wrongful death
I thought the pneumonia was from the meds he was on for the RA and/or UC, they weaken your immune system. He had pneumonia while recording After Hours.
Re: Sues for wrongful death
I really don't think we have enough facts right now to speculate too much about the validity of the claims on either side. However, if it the lawsuit does not get settled, that is bound to change.
Re: Sues for wrongful death
Ah, so he had a history then, even worse since it was recurring.
Re: Sues for wrongful death
IIRC Glenn Frey acquired some sort of infection while in Hawaii after the HOTE tour ended. He sought medical treatment in Los Angeles and it may have been around that time his meds were changed but that is pure speculation. It could have been earlier or later. We only know there was a change in meds at some point.
Re: Sues for wrongful death
I feel so bad for the Frey family and this has to be tough and having this all becoming public. Pneumonia is so scary and usually is caused by either already having a virus or infection. My Grandma has it regularly now and just got out of the hospital again last week. She gets it at least once a year now whenever it's cold/flu season. Thankfully they caught it early this time and she only had to stay a few days. Two years ago she was in the hospital for a couple weeks. She doesn't have RA but other medical conditions and she can't really be around anyone when they have a cold/flu virus as if she gets it, it will turn into pneumonia.
