Here's a thought to keep in mind--there's a new "Don't just sit there, sue somebody" commercial on the airwaves right now--trying to drum up plaintiffs for a classaction against some med for mental illness.

The whole commercial is a big scare-the-pants-off-you about the drug, then the end of the commercial says--"Do not stop taking any medication without consulting your doctor."

Heh. Could it be that we could go after the law firm for scaring people off their meds? Someone could see the commercial, stop taking their meds, then have some bad outcome. Wouldn't the law firm be liable for encouraging them to do exactly that?

I don't watch TV at all, believe it or not.

This ad is beyond despicable, of course. I suspect it is directed at Zyprexa, an anti-psychotic drug that has revolutionized the therapy of previously untreatable cases of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Zyprexa in some patients greatly stimulates appetite, hence obesity, and hence possible adult diabetes.
