I'm not sure what you mean. I just clicked on the link from my post and it worked fine. > I would not use Wiki for medical information. Oh sorry -- I misread your post.

My friend Terry Mix died from a heart arythima, while taking antidperssants, TCA's, I believe, ca. 1980, before the SSRI's. I interviewed Carol Bernstein, MD, in 1998 about these risks, as well. If Terry had been monitored, if he had had a physical, the underlying arhythmia might have been diagnosed. Terry likely died from malpractice. Terence Mix died at age 28 years. Terry likely died from malpractice. Terence Mix died at age 28 years. His parents were too traumatized to pursue a lawsuit. Any parents who lose a child, or ANYONE who loses a loved one ia more than likely too traumatized or too uninformed of their rights to pursue legal action. Oh, did I mention pain? Lot's of pain.

If you cannot, go to your neighbor and ask for HELP ASAP! Many people die in their bathroom. Keep that in mind. "'I don't care if you're black, white, rich or poor, whether you live in the projects or a penthouse, everyone smells the same when they die,' Mr. Gospodarski said as he scraped a caramel-colored goo off the floor of Apartment 6-F this spring." http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/22/nyregion/22cleanup.html?ex=1136091600&en=2856e 56e2132fd89&ei=5070 > Oh, did I mention pain?
