A Rash Attack Of Common Sense?

Vioxx, Bextra and Celebrex look to be back on the market. I view this as a wonderful thing, and here's why.

As a male in his mid 50's, my statistical chance of a heart attack or stroke is pretty much identical to that of someone taking one of these drugs.

People who suffer chronic pain have normally gone through a gamut of drugs trying to find something that will work for them with a minimum of side effects. When you finally find that one drug, it's truly a blessing and it allows you some level of functionality.

When the lawyers take that drug away from you, even though you've made an informed choice in using it, you can get pretty hostile towards the world. That can make life hell for family members who normally catch the brunt of this hostility. Believe me, we've been there and it ain't pretty.

Make the bottles and boxes three foot square if you need to find enough space for the lawyer-mandated warning labels. Just let those in pain have access to medications that work for them.
