I'd also like to add that my wife was put on Fosamax by an apparently aggressive GP in 1997. He was a pretty young doc, so I wouldn't be surprisedif he was swayed by a cute blonde drug rep and/or future "Bachelor" contestant. (eye roll fro drug marketing). Anyway, last month, my wife was walking down a school corridor at our daughter's gymnastic's meet and her femur snapped before she hit the ground. The pain was brutal to watch, let alone experience first hand. She now has a rod and screws holding her thigh together I'm not a research scientist, but I'll bet my bottom dollar that the drug caused it and when a causal link is inevitably established it will be time for Merck to make things right or play some real hardball.
