last week a member of the gentleman's profession did some surgery down in Florida. I heard on the radio, he was supposed to cut off a person's foot. He amputated it, and when that person woke up, they had cut off the wrong foot. How much money does the gentleman think that fellow ought to get for pain and suffering and noneconomic damages? He woke up and he lost the wrong foot, which means he is going to lose both his feet, because a fellow in your profession made a mistake. How much money do you think he ought to get for noneconomic damages, an open-ended question?
