Dear Sirs or Ms.
I am writing for two reasons.
Back in 2006, I sent a complaint to your office conserning Mercks Vioxx, and my damages And never received a response. I now find that the state may have a pending lawsuits against Merck & compamy.
I Am requesting a sumery of any current lawsuits that have been filed against Merck & company, envolving the drug Vioxx. under the
Constitution of Montana -- Article II -- DECLARATION OF RIGHTS
Section 9. Right to know. No person shall be deprived of the right to examine documents or to observe the deliberations of all public bodies or agencies of state government and its subdivisions, except in cases in which the demand of individual privacy clearly exceeds the merits of public disclosure.
Secondly Physician-Assisted Suicide Case
Rogue doctors in this state have been overdosing patients for years. While no one wants to see there love ones suffer, life should come first over the convenance of the doctor or hospital staff.
I have given this a lot of thought, and the involuntary euthanasia of my mother, 1-1-2005, died on 2-08-2005 was cruel and inhuman.
Coroner Mickey Nelson states the cause of death being, renal cell cancer. Fact I took my mother in to St Peters hospital do to her weakness and confusion. Dr Weiner had kept me in the dark from the very beginning and when I asked her primary phys (Cody Karen) for a second opinion, all I got is I am sure he is doing the best for her. I have not been able to locate a do not resuscitate order. Dr Weiner stated he wanted to do a brain scan to see if there was any signs of cancer, he did, there wasn’t. That was the last time I was able to speak to my mother, do to the constant overdose of meds. After reviewing the records, she received morphine, lorazepam and died of starvation and dehydration. If this state approves of Physician-Assisted euthanasia, it should only be carried out in the most humain matter and with only the permission of the patient and or family.
