On one hand, that is definitely awful. On the other hand, $13 MILLION?!?!?

I mean - she did get her toenails torn out without any anesthesia while screaming in pain, then has all the pain and damage not only from the injection of the IPA but incorrect treatment of it (due to not knowing)
I always wonder how dafuq people come to quantify the dollar value of that kind of thing. And the list of things claimed for damages is.... weird

I'd wager she gets half, then her lawyers get half of that.
Not sure I'd take on that ordeal for $3 mil.

Agreed on all points. But for 3 million tax free I probably would. But it does sound awful.
