This just makes me angry. Life is filled with many tragedies that are just part of life, some are avoidable, some can be mitigated and some can be reduced sometimes - like the threat of cancer.

What makes me angry about this is that I can imagine what this would potentially mean for a cancer treatment patient. A person gets the awful news that they've got cancer, then they launch what is often a horrendous course of treatment, then if they get harmed or damaged by a piece of equipment that was supposed to offer hope and save their lives, it's a harsh blow to them or their family and loved ones. If they were to find out that the vendor's own rep/tech had fouled up the machine or the installation, there wouldn't be any mercy from my perspective and no amount of money would ever compensate for the loss of a loved one.
