Sick Woman?? How dare you! In August of 2000, Searle and the FDA together sent a letter to over 200,000 OB providers in the US urging them NOT to use Cytotec in labor and delivery because it has been PROVEN that Cytotec for this use causes so many complications, from uterine rupture requiring an emergency hysterectomy all the way up to death of the mother and/or baby. If this woman's attorney had showed the letter from Searle to the Jury, the jury would have found differently.
My own daughter was delivered after cytotec was used. She suffered brain damage and now has multiple disabilities -- all tied back to Cytotec.
If you noticed in the article that the woman said, If I had known of the side effects . . . it is a doctor's responsibility to inform his/her patient of ALL possible side effects and to give said patient every reasonable chance to deny any medication or medical procedure. This is called informed consent, and when a doctor does not give a patient informed consent, he is GUILTY, period!
You are ASSUMING her baby is happy and healthy. You most likely do not know what happened to this woman's body after cytotec was used, and you should be ashamed that you make a snap judgment while knowing NOTHING of the facts of Cytotec or Informed Consent.
The ***** is YOU!
