Ok I feel really odd posting this, but I wanted to get some opinions. If this is not appriopiate please tell me.
My boyfriends mother had a heartattack a week before Thanksgiving. She is ok, but come to find out she was on Vioxx for a long time before this happened. The doctors do not believe she has permanent damage..but there is some issue with her lungs and stuff.
I guess the question is... should we recommend that she pick up a lawyer? I have strong feelings against the philosophy that Americans can have about suing everyone... but I really feel as though (her doctor too) that the Vioxx caused her heart attack. Plus my boyfriend was on it for six months when he had lyme disease last year.
Is it wrong to sue the drug company??? Should she just forget it???
