Yes, that is correct. Can't sue the Federal government. Not that it would makeup for what has happened in anyway. How do you compensate someone for taking their legs? It is not a broken bone or something else that will easily heal with time. This is permanently disabling someone for the rest of their life!
I was also informed that he was brought to consciousness enough to talk to family members and was told about what happened but was put back under shortly after because of the extreme emotional reaction. I can not imagine personally wakening to such a nightmare. I really don't know how I would handle or deal with it.
Thank you Heather
