You can't even make this stuff up (#1)

I see alot of weird stuff every week in my job. There is a famous expression that truth is stranger than fiction and I can vouch for that. Each week, I hear some kind of story from a patient that makes me say to myself, "You can't even make this stuff up." So I decided to periodically do some blog posts with this quote as the title and this is the first entry. Please note that I need to keep information somewhat vague because I cannot provide any details that would identify my patients.

Anyway, the 1st brief story is as follows. I am interviewing a patient who got into a car accident after speeding around a corner at night in a residential neighborhood. The car completely lost control and crashed into a person's living room! As I do in all cases, I asked if their are any pending lawsuits. So the patient said yes. I asked him to provide specifics (assuming he was the one who was being sued) but to my surprise he said he was the one who filed the lawsuit. He also said he was suing the person whose house he crashed into. When I asked why he was suing this person, the patient said "Because he built his house to close to the curb" (!!!!).
