Madden suffered from numerous medical conditions, including but not limited to: morbid obesity, respiratory acidosis, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obstructive sleep apnea, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

The record contained sufficient evidence in support of the district court\u2019s finding that the United States\u2019 medical expert was credible and that Madden\u2019s medical expert was not credible in this wrongful death claim.
