Cop dies during 3-way sex; widow wins $3M lawsuit

[3113]

From here:

A jury has awarded a Georgia woman $3 million over her husband's heart attack, finding that his doctor should have warned the Atlanta cop against strenuous activity like the three-way sex he was having at the time he died, WXIA-TV reports.

William Martinez, a 31-year-old Atlanta police officer, collapsed and died while he and a male friend were having sex with a woman who was not his wife at an Atlanta airport motel in 2009.

Whadda think? Loving Wives? Group? And how much more strenuous is three-way sex than regular sex? Then being a cop? And how was the doctor to know that it was more strenuous and his patient ought to be warned against it?

A Georgia jury? Figures. Wait until the defendant's insurance company appeals, and the case is sent back for retrial.

If the insurance company loses their appeal, then every doctor in America will immediately advise their patients never to have three-way sex, regardless of the physical condition they may be in. For health reasons alone, no one would dream of taking such a foolish risk ever again, and three-way sex would become a thing of the past.

But maybe not. The indomitable spirit of Man is what distinguishes us from the lesser mammals. When it comes to sex, in my experience, where there's a willy there's always a way.

WOW...3 million is a lot of cash. That is a crazy story - I dont think its fair tough and Im really surprised the case was won.

 

[fuckwaffle]

Definitely not Loving Wives, unless the cops wife knew he was doing the ugly with another woman and willing let him participate.

They didn't rule that the doctor should have warned him specifically against three-way sex, or any other kind. They ruled that the doctor "did not properly diagnose and treat Martinez for high blood pressure, chest pains, shortness of breath and irregular heartbeat" and should have warned him against strenuous exercise.

Like the article says, the fact that he died during sex isn't the issue; he could just have easily died exercising on a treadmill or chasing a criminal, because the doctor didn't do his job and diagnose a dangerous medical condition.

A sharp attorney got hold of her. Or maybe a sharpie attorney.

 

[R. Richard]

"The type of sex that he was engaged in is the type that's totally unacceptable to our community," said Martinez family attorney Rod Edmond on Friday. "But the fact of the matter is this man could have died running on the treadmill, running after a criminal."

Okay, let's analyze. The ass hole died because he was in very bad physical condition. This is the guy who's supposed to protect you? He was, according to the aticle, not even able to protect himself. However, you're willing to pay some ass hole who clearly can't do the job for which you're paying him? Conclusion, the ass hole was an incompetent fraud and you're insane. His own 'supervision' is either totally incompetent or guilty of conspiracy.

Okay, now let's get to the matter of the three way. The woman was obviously his mother. Scumbags are known to pimp for they mama. The obvious situation is that the scumbag's donkey died or is in such bad condition that the scumbag had to sell the client on a three way, instead of a donkey fuck. The SPCA needs to investigate the condition of the donkey. (The fact that the scumbag went to a doctor, instead of a vet, is a strong indication of animal abuse. The scumbag worried about himself, not his faithful donkey companion or his whore nother, for that matter.)

(Did I mention that I don't like scumbags at all?)

The sex aspect of the story sounds irrelevent. It's there for the scumbag ambulance-chaser angle, which I'm not sure is present here.

31 isn't out-of-shape unless the dude is a blob. 31 implies some form of heart defect. That's the kind of thing you pay doctors to spot. If it was something the doctor should have spotted and failed to spot (which isn't clear from the fragment I saw), they were negligent at their job.

That seems to be the basis for the jury's decision, yes.

Reminds me of this case:
http://www.smh.com.au/national/publ...p-entitled-to-compo-court-20120419-1x8z3.html

Australian woman was travelling for work, her work put her up in a hotel, some time in the evening she had sex with a male friend, and a glass light fitting fell on her causing serious injuries. By law, if you're travelling for work, worker's compensation covers you for injuries caused by "ordinary incidents of life". After an appeal the court ruled that she should be compensated, same as she would've been if the injury had been caused by slipping in the shower.

Works for me. People don't magically lose their rights just because consensual sex is in the picture.

 

[R. Richard]

The story says that the scumbag died of "Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease."

How Does Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease Happen?

Think of a drainage pipe under the bathroom sink. It starts off wide open. As hair, dirt and oils build up in the pipe, the water doesn't flow as well. Eventually, unless you clean it out, it totally closes up, preventing any water from draining. Coronary artery disease works the exact same way. Blood contains lipoproteins, which carry cholesterol and triglycerides. As these lipoproteins travel, some of them stick to the walls of the arteries. Lipoproteins that have a low density (LDL) stick to the walls and are referred to as the "bad cholesterol". High density lipoproteins (HDL) are good cholesterols that actually clean the vessels and transport the cholesterol back to the liver to be metabolized.
The "plaque" that sticks to the inside walls of the vessels cause the vessels to narrow. In addition, the plaque is very sticky. Platelets in the blood get trapped on the plaque, causing further narrowing and even blood clots to form. When the artery completely occludes, the part of the heart muscle that was supplied by that coronary artery can be cut off entirely from a blood supply, causing a heart attack.

The best treatment for ASCHD is, of course, prevention. Smoking cessation, weight loss, exercise, lowering your cholesterol through diet and medication (statins), controlling blood pressure and adding good omega-3 fats and antioxidants to your diet are key not only to ward off plaque from building initially, but to prevent further complications if you have already had heart disease or a heart attack.

Of course, the standard scumbag diet is heavy with doughnuts. The most exercise that most scumbags get is to walk from their patrol car to the doughnut take out window and back. Then late hours, with little sleep which pimpin' for they mama, also take a toll. Go and talk to your local scumbags and find out if they have a fitness requirement. Then, ask to see the scimbags actually tested. (Not likely.)

I'm still chuckling over this part. "The community does not approve your three-way."

 

[trysail]

We come here to gather data and form an opinion of the population and the extent to which swindlers, cretins and morons have reproduced and proliferated. The results are never encouraging.

Why did this police department keep such a person on the payroll if he was in such poor physical condition? Don't most police departments require annual physicals for their personnel? As a peace officer this guy was next to useless if a foot pursuit was required.

This verdict's bogus too. More and more physicians are giving up their practice's due to the prohibitive cost of liability insurance caused by their decisions being second guessed in court.

 

[Carreira]

You can't hope for the best and when the best doesn't happen file lawsuits like crazy.

 

[Bramblethorn]

Exactly. The whole point of this case is that his "poor physical condition" should have been recognised by the cardiologist, but wasn't. (At least, that's the version the jury seems to have accepted; I understand the doctor is appealing against the verdict.)

If he was obviously unfit then sure, the PD should've done something about it. But heart disease isn't always obvious without a medical exam.

To the original question:

In my experience three way sex is so much less stressful than two way....splitting the load...so to speak

 

[sr71plt]

Wasn't the WHOLE point that the doctor hadn't apprised him of his condition--and thus not the PD either? So, how was the PD to know? Isn't it the doctor that was sued for what didn't happen, not the PD? Why is the PD being fingered/criticized by anyone for anything in this case?

As usual, I find the rants against the police some express here (others, not the quoted poster) really, really reactionary, stupid, and blinders on.

 

[Marvin33]

look good

 

[R. Richard]

It never sceases to amaze me that people are willing to pay government employees to do a job that said government employees aren't physically capable of doing.
The local scumbag herd had physical requirements for their members. The physicakl requirements were never tested and most of the doughnut munching ass holes couldn't have passed the tests. When I pointed out the failure to test, the Chief Scumbag then removed the physical requirements test from his operation. The local citizens are now discussing removing him from his job.
Perhaps one of you apologists would explain to me why you're willing to pay government employees to do a job that said government employees aren't physically capable of doing. TIA.

I don't see why anyone should bother as you obviously have your head way up your ass on your perceptions of reality and in your deeply prejudicial reactionary agenda.

Yep, not sure if I expressed myself clearly above, but you and I are agreeing vociferously here.

You want me to pay someone who's not capable of doing a job and you think that I have my head way up my ass? You also probably wonder why it's always so dark where you are. You also tend to reply to questions with an ad hominem attack.

Yes, I'm prejudiced against the use of scumbags who are obviously incapable of protecting the most vulnerable members of our society. Don't bother trying to convince me that those people aren't worth protecting, my mind is made up.

I must've missed the bit where the article said his heart disease was "obvious", I only saw the version where a specialist cardiologist was unable to diagnose it properly.

R.R is pretty funny with all of his assumptives.
