If you cause a disturbance and swear at people in the park, then, nope, sorry, but you don't get to sue the park for kicking you out.

It being absurd is another question for debate. >> Didn't the woman or someone claiming to be her come here looking for support? << I believe she came here looking to give her side of the story. At least she had the courage to address the issue here in an open forum. Even after so many people had made some rather crude remarks.
Originally Posted By dshyates I actually feel very sorry for her. But I don't see how her medical issues in regards to treatment are Diney's problem. With the type of condition she has I understand that using kenetic forces to break-up the fiberous adhesions can avoid surgery. But I also can see Disney not wanting one of the adhesions to rupture an organ and have her bleed to death internally on their ride.

I want all of you Doctors of Medicine to speak out on this. Personally I have empathy for her if what she stated is the truth. It is now in the court system to be resolved. That's where it belongs. I'm sure they are in a much better position to judge on the bases of evidence from both sides, rather than the hearsay we may receive here.

My dad said that the fact that the ride CAN pull them apart IS the reason she should NEVER get on it. The possibility of rupturing an organ is quite real. And if she ruptured an organ on the ride, she would bleed to death before they could even get her someplace to crack her open and stop it.
