November 20, 2009. By Brenda Craig.
Helena, MT: A jury in Montana recently ordered the makers of the legendary Louis Slugger baseball bats to pay the Patch family $850,000 in a wrongful death and product liability suit the family never expected win. “When we were talking to them after they had no idea how much they had won,” says attorney Michael Kauffman from Drake Law Firm. “I think hope the money will go towards what they want to achieve.

| Reglan Side Effects Frustrating for Patients |
November 18, 2009. By Heidi Turner.
Miami, FL: The Reglan side effects may start so slowly that a patient does not even pay attention to them at first: some excessive blinking, facial twitches and maybe a sudden leg jerk every once in a while. But after a while, the movements become impossible to ignore. By that time, the patient has developed tardive dyskinesia—an untreatable condition that has been linked to excessive use of Reglan.

| "My Brother wasn't Warned about MRI Health Risks" |
November 15, 2009. By Jane Mundy.
San Clemente, CA: Even though Mike’s brother had kidney problems, he still underwent several MRIs with a gadolinium-based contrast agent. According to Mike, his brother was never warned about MRI health risks; patients with kidney problems are particularly at risk of developing Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF). The FDA slapped a black box warning on contrast agents in 2006, the year Mike's brother died.
