According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Mount Sinai Hospital and Dr. Steven Itzkowitz claim that “the injuries of the plaintiff were caused in whole or in part by the culpable conduct of the plaintiff.”

This appears to be claiming that what happened to Glenn was his own FAULT.

For a start, he did not have 'injuries'. He had a disease.No mattter what his lifestyle may have been he did not choose to get UC, RA & then pneumonia & die.

While I don't believe this lawsuit will succeed, I find this statement extremely hurtful & I cannot understand the reasoning behind it.
