[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 29654, member: 1697"] OK I got my hands on the fu ll text of the article now. (and just read it) I know I have had to often cut pills for my husband, my kids and myself, some pills lend themself to cutting better than others. My dtrs Lamictal was a bear to split in half, as was my prednisone. - even when useing a pill splitter. I do not know how many times I have read posts from people who came and reported symptoms in their children that would have had me out the door at ER in a flash, but some people did not seem very alarmed and not in a big hurry to get medical intervention for certain symptoms......even if it seemed the symptoms might or could be due to over medication, toxicity or overdose or adverse reaction. I read a lot of posts here from people who do not look up the medications their children take, they simply trust the doctor blindly....and I have heard many times, and also experienced many times where a doctor will say something on a phone but the change is not reflected on the Rx bottle or at the pharmacist. (such as add a half pill more at bedtime) I am not exactly sure why the parents status of being disabled and living in subsidized houseing is in the article, unless it is to present the parents in a worse light. Think about it, how many people have job difficulties or their own health issues dealing with even just one ill child? So, now that I read the whole article posted above, I still say, wow, ouch........ can we show some compassion towards the family? So much "he said she said" and it is quite possible the parents might be telling the truth. Sounds like they needed HELP........sounds like they sought help- they did have their kids being seen by docs.......... [/QUOTE]
