I can't name names but one of the cases I personally have worked on is an 19 year old who had a heart attack after being on vioxx for 6 months.He was on vioxx due to back fusion surgery that made him 100% disabled.

Is it possible his heart attack was caused by a clot considering his back injury made mobility difficult, thus more prone to deep venous thrombosis? What about pre-existing conditions, unknown, undiagnosed? We've all heard of young athletes dropping dead on the gym floor with no apparent indictation.

I suppose anything is possible but 85% of our cases are people under the age of 55, try explaining all these people having strokes while they all were on Vioxx. 30% of our case are -or had their stroke/heart attack- in their 40's. Is this typical? I submit all these people had one thing in common the misfortune of taking Vioxx.
