In an incident that can only be described as mind-boggling, a Florida man decided to take matters into his own hands and shot himself in the foot. The man, whose name has not been released, then proceeded to sue the hospital where he was treated for failing to stop him from shooting himself.
According to the man's lawsuit, he was admitted to the hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound to his foot. He claims that the hospital staff knew or should have known that he was a danger to himself and that they failed to take adequate steps to prevent him from harming himself.
The hospital, for its part, denies any wrongdoing. They claim that the man was lucid and competent when he admitted to the hospital and that they had no way of knowing that he would shoot himself.
