What's the over/under right now?  Over a million or under a million bux?  Will it go to court or be settled?  Personally, (and don't get all hyper at me people), I think the guy's entitled to a few grand for medical.  What's a split lip worth?  Pain and suffering maybe 25-50k.  Loss of income......well he can still work.  How hard is it to write the illegal Percocet scripts he'd been making a fortune on, not to mention the male/female carnal pleasures he traded some of those scripts for.  Plus he can still play poker.......his day job during his 15 years of having his medical license suspended.  Punative damages, that's the big one.  Again, I don't think the guy should get over 100k.  United screwed up and needs to shell out some money.  But I don't think he's entitled to mega millions.
