LUMBARD, Chief Judge
(concurring in part and dissenting in part):
I agree with Judge Kaufman’s award of a total of $18,442.50 for items for immediate and future medical expenses, immediate and future loss of wages, and loss of enjoyment of bowling instead of the sum which was awarded by the District Court for these items. However, in my opinion the award of the District Court for pain and suffering is grossly excessive. A most generous allowance would be $50,000.
According, I would modify the judgment of the District Court and direct entry of judgment in the total sum of $68,442.50.
