yeah. i will be monitoring this one with interest as it stumbles deeper into the abyss of the american judicial system. but judges are lately rather more afraid of the precedent they are setting for future cases than of the short-term repercussions of the decision at hand, which i think weighs in favor of pharma.

i very much doubt they will be culpable, so far removed as they are from the physical insertion of the drug into the body. and oxy has helped plenty of people recover from injuries and surgeries. tough question.
