Sure some compensation but 15 million for pain and suffering for somoene who had lung cancer and a median survival of what? At some point, mistakes/glitches happen and victims should be compensated but that level of compensation is a bit ridiculous in my opinion.

The amount does seem excessive, I was opining more on the merit of the lawsuit
