TL, the thing that really rattles me about Vioxx and a similar drug. They are no more effective than Ibuproffen (Motrin) but cost hundreds more because they aren't in the generic bin yet.

My source comes from a 20/20 special report and a friend that is a P.A.

Well, hey, I'm not here questioning what the doctors tell us. Not on this thread anyway. ;) Like any 30-yr-old male I avoid doctors and prescription meds like the plague, anyway.

T.L. That is extremely "Mean Spirited" and down right "UnAmerican", treatment of this nation's "Little Soldiers". "Old soldiers never die they just fade away", now thanks to that R&D the "little soldiers don't even have to fade away. And if anyone takes "Bob's" advice they can turn the "Little fella" into a real "Richard" ;)
