Plaintiff’s Medical History Included Radiation Treatment for his Mesothelioma
Radiation Followed the Chemotherapy in Treatment for Mesothelioma
Radiation treatment followed the chemotherapy. He couldn't swallow and choked when he tried to eat. His skin was so itchy and burnt red so that he couldn't put his clothes on.
Mr. D'Ulisse suffered from severe constipation and rectal bleeding. He is despondent over his inability to care for his wife or to currently engage in sexual activities.
Plaintiff stated that "I am on death row for a crime I didn't commit." He states that he is aware that he is going to suffer a horrible death.
D'Ulisse's co-plaintiff wife, in addition to corroborating much of his testimony, testified to his assisting her with household chores and to the loss of sexual companionship.
