I won't live long enough to get "my day in court". I was ingesting, what I now call the A-Bomb, this drug, VIOXX, for a year and a half. My first cardiac event was 2002. In 2007, two months ago, I suffered with another event that caused me to have another 5 stents implaced. They way I see this situation, Vioxx has robbed me of the peace of mind of not knowing if I am going to see another day. Everytime I experience a discomfort, I cringe and wonder if this is the "big one". I feel pretty confident, based on the past 5 years, I won't see my children and Grandchildren grow older. I am robbed of continuing a job I love. I was robbed of a marriage that couldn't withstand the unbelieveable depression that comes with having a heart attack. I am unable to do all the things I loved doing that required a healthy heart. The list goes on and on...........However, what bothers me deeply is that I may not live long enough to see Merck held accountable. The risks outweigh the benefits???? Not from my perspective.... Tell that to my family. Carol Higbee has an opportunity to bring justice to all those that have suffered....... Give us our day in court while we are still alive and can fight for justice! Thanks! “Justice delayed is justice denied”……. I won’t live long enough to get “my day in court”. I was ingesting, what I now call the A-Bomb, this drug, VIOXX, for a year and a half.
