Evolution of the Hen & Stag Party

Evolution of Hen and Stag Parties

Dating from as far back as the Spartans and Henry VIII through to the party-focused events we have today, Stag and hen parties (or bachelor and bachelorette parties) have changed dramatically over the years. Celebrating of the ‘last night of freedom’ is a time-honoured tradition but in recent years we have seen a shift from one-night parties to overseas weekend breaks filled with all manner of activities and celebrations. Even festivals and glamping are proving to be popular activities for stag and hen parties today.

The events also differ vastly between genders – with hens favouring activities like spas and stags preferring to go paintballing or go karting. Hen parties themselves weren’t even an option until the 1960’s when the feminist movement helped to spur on equality for all kinds of events

Here’s a fun look at how these much-loved celebrations started and the ways in which they’ve evolved throughout history.

Source: The Biggest, Most Disastrous Medical Malpractice Lawsuits Over the Years

Did you know that many states have a cap for medical malpractice? Medical malpractice, what’s that? Medical malpractice refers to professional negligence by a health care professional or provider in which treatment provided was substandard, and caused harm, injury or death to a patient.  While some states have a cap for this (Maryland being the highest at $785,000) others rule it is unconstitutional to have such caps. One of the most disastrous medical malpractice payouts was an incident involving ketchup packets. The incident involved a 36 year old man who was on life support from a traumatic brain injury after he passed away the autopsy reported unopened ketchup packets, plastic bags and paper towels were found in his stomach and bowls. His family was paid $11 million dollars. Another extremely disastrous medical malpractice incident occurred in 2006 when a doctor used a screw driver instead of titanium rods for a patients back, the patient died two years later and the family was awarded $5.6 million dollars.
