-Gel -----Original Message----- From: Phoeun Pha [mailto:phoeunp@;entelligence.com] Rather than physical pain, Milstein said, "I think he was referring more to just the act of being an experimental subject, the prodding and the probing and the feeling that you were just an object being studied." But the suit, which seeks damages in excess of $100,000, also says shortly before his death Quinn could barely breathe "and was in constant, unbearable pain with extreme burning sensations in his back and throat." Spokeswoman Molly Tritt said officials at Hahnemann University Hospital hadn't seen the suit and wouldn't comment. Messages left with the heart manufacturer, Abiomed Inc., and Tenet Healthcare, which owns Hahnemann, weren't immediately returned. Quinn, 52, was implanted with the AbioCor artificial heart Nov. 5. He suffered a stroke Aug. 23 and was withdrawn from life support three days later. Of seven people implanted with the plastic-and-titanium Abiocor heart, only one survives. The trial began more than a year ago. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_community This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
