But, these three drugs, Larry, while acting on different neuropathways in terms of what they accomplish they all work to suppress brain activity. When that happens, it suppresses the lungs and when that happens, then the heart is compromised.
And, by the way, there's a very specific cardiac dysrhythmia, (INAUDIBLE), French, which has come to be known to be especially associated with antidepressants. It leads to a prolonged, QT integral and it can result in death.
KING: Are you saying that no doctor in good standing would have prescribed all three?
WECHT: That's correct. You'd have to be totally negligent to prescribe all three drugs, no, no way.
KING: Are you also saying that anybody knowing he was taking -- would anybody taking all three be in grave danger of losing their life?
WECHT: Yes.
I noticed the following from your LKL transcript link:
Before we get to Dr. Wecht, let’s listen to what Howard K. Stern, the lawyer who maintains he’s the father of the little girl, told us last night about the circumstances of Daniel’s death. Watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
STERN: At one point, Daniel said to me “How come I’m so tired?” And, in hindsight I wish that I had seen that as some sort of a signal and seen that something wasn’t right.
KING: So, what happened did he just close — did he close his eyes or what?
STERN: Well, I mean the next thing that I remember that happened from my perspective is that in the morning Anna said “Howard, Howard, Daniel’s not breathing.”
I just noticed the way HKS says “is that in the morning Anna said” Howard, Howard, Daniel’s not breathing.” This doesn’t make sense, because Daniel was observed by a nurse as helping his Mom go to the bathroom at approximately 6:30am. IMO, HKS is implying that Daniel said “How come I’m so tired?” and then Daniel went to sleep, never to wake up again. This could NOT be TRUE, if Daniel said it at NIGHT as HKS implied.
Wasn’t HKS there at 6:30am/morning to see Daniel help Anna go to the bathroom?? If he wasn’t there to see for himself, didn’t Anna or someone else tell him that Daniel was awake at 6:30am?? IMO, HKS answer to Larry King is very misleading. Like others have posted before, did HKS slip up when he told King about Daniel’s statement of “How come I’m so tired?” Hope this makes sense! I’m not sure what it means, other than HKS is talking in circles or deliberately lying.
