Actually as weird as this question and topic is...there is a point to what dreamer and susiequte say.


I had a really severe case of walking pneumonia in the fall of 85.  I saw my GP who gave me some antibiotics and narcotic cough medicine.  When the coughing became so severe that I tore a muscle off my rib cage, he sent me for a chest xray.  The hospital asked me if I was pregnant and I told them no.  I thought I wasnt.  Guess again!  A condom had leaked and we didnt realize it and Cory was already there.  By the time we found out I was pregnant I had already had 3 chest xrays, numerous doses of narcotic cough medications and antibiotics.  I was offered a d and c to terminate the pregnancy since no one could be sure of the effect on the fetus but we chose to continue.  (Little did we know!)  He was born with a physical birth defect...actually two but whether they were caused by the early exposure we will never know. 


It never occurred to me to sue.  It was as much my fault as anyones.  Heck...I was there!  It wasnt that I lied to anyone, I just didnt know I was pregnant.  Im sure they didnt do any pregnancy tests because it would have shown up.
