John Ritter's Medical Treatment Disputed

Four years later and the lawsuit continues...treatment for heart attacks in question..also we did not have all the technology we enjoy to day with cardio care...did he get second opinions is one thing that pops in to mind here...tragic and nothing will bring him back, but this one I believe will be difficult to see what area of responsibility he had himself...we have all been there, self included, for not always addressing our health concerns as conclusive as we should..we are human...BD

LOS ANGELES (AP) — More than four years after his death, John Ritter's relatives are taking their $67 million lawsuit to trial Tuesday, claiming the actor would have survived if two doctors had recognized his heart abnormality and not treated it as a heart attack.
The procedure for treating a heart attack is the "exact opposite" of what a patient with Ritter's condition would have undergone, according to legal papers filed by lawyers for the plaintiffs.Ritter's second wife, Amy Yasbeck, and his four children have already received a reported $14 million in settlements with nine other medical entities, including the hospital where he was treated.
"One would imagine that having a doctor treating you would increase your chances of survival rather than decrease them," said lawyers for Ritter's family."He did no follow-up," Fraser said, noting that Ritter also had very high cholesterol.
