64. It doesn't matter how old or how rich you are, the hospital should take care of you to the best of their ability and if they don't, they should have conciquences.

65. Maybe Donald Trump will bail him out again.

66. No one mentioned that Ed McMahon won a lawsuit in 2003 claiming mold in his house made he, his wife, and dog sick. Over 7 million dollars and he hurt the rest of Californians as the insurance companies would not assume insurance if you had the smallest leak.in your roof. I guess winning that large a settlement pleased him so much that he now has become addicted to suing. I agree with some above. He should be ashamed of himself!

67. Ed McMahon was exposed to high levels of toxigenic fungi (MOLD) in his home and was treated by my physician.

His current condition of pneumonia is absolutely consistent with mold exposure, as are his ongoing immune-related symptoms.

People laughed and late night comedians made fun of Mr. McMahon when he claimed mold exposure, and again when his mansion would not sell do to mold.

America -- are you FINALLY ready to take the epidemic-level of mold-exposure in our country to task? Are you finally ready to clean up our schools where countless students are being exposed to the worst indoor air in HUMAN HISTORY?

Please insist that congress pass legislation to make our growing indoor mold crisis a matter of the highest health priority. Mold-related medical conditions (known or unknown) are a significant part of our nation's health costs and general state of malaise, obesity, cancer, diabetes, and countless other growing mystery illnesses.

Excessive and toxigenic Indoor Mold is no longer a subject we can allow insurance to suppress and lie about to control their expenses. It is a matter of national security, not a joke for late night descendants of Johnny and Ed.

68. I use to work for a Malpractice Insurance office in Glendale, California, and I discovered that the doctors 'most likely' to be sued for malpractice were trained at (1) Cedar-Sinai; (2) MLK (Martin Luther King hospital); and (3) Kaiser hospitals.

You can, as a patient, ask the doctor for his malpractice information - ie: cases won/lost and the doctor is required to show it to you.

My mother broke her back bone when she lived in Tucson, Arizona, and she laid in the hospital for 4 days waiting for a surgeon to make the repairs to her bone...one never showed up so she was released to go home without surgery. She is 84 years old.

I guess Ed has 2 things against him in this suit - first he's over the age of 65 and second he went to Cedars-Sinai. The quality of care seems to be contingent on your age and where the doctor was trained.

I wish you much luck, Ed, and pray for your recovery.

69. "Given his age...not surprising." That comment smacks of ageism. Many 85-year-olds lead active and healthy lives. Judging from your TV show, most of your staff has just graduated from high school. Your program and your web site are vacuous, featuring tidbits about some unknown starlet photographed picking her nose.

71. This man was under a lot of stress and he has family that is grieving, No one wants to loose their home and regardless of how rich or poor you are, regardless of how old you are, EVERYONE should be given the best care possible while in the hospital. They far too often let the elderly go just because they are elderly. Too much trouble to waste on someone old? Well, a life is a life and untill you are dead you should be given every possible opportunity to stay alive. My father was 87 and the Dr.s said let him go he had 5 things wrong with him including cancer mrs and sudamonus [not sure of the spelling] but we fought it and had 4 more glorious yrs with him.

72. I really can't understand why society today has become so uncaring and callous. Ed contributed to sooo many of our happy and humorous memories. Have you all forgotten or did any of you posters realize this? I find it to be a very serious problem (of yours) that you can never appreciate Johnny Carson, Ed McMahon, Red Skelton Abbott & Costello et al. But then that is REALLY YOUR problem, not mine. The pity is that obviously you will never understand or appreciate real humor or the talent of real comedians. All I can say is "RIP today's generation, you've never taken the time to laugh at yourselves" !!!
