everity of their fen-phen related injuries. The company expects thousands of claimants to come forward over the next several months (Injuryboard, 2001). The information in this book was well documented. Mundy relied on documents from the FDA, Wyeth-Ayerst, American Home Family, Servier and Interneuron. Other information was gained at the depositions of the drug company officials and during trial testimony. Close contact with the victims, their families, and the lawyers who waged the war against the Goliath drug companies added a human element to the book. She also drew from news stories in The Wall Street Journal and reports in Newsday. The American Journal of Medicine, The New England Journal of Medicine, and Obesity Research were also listed as sources (Mundy, 2001). Concern was raised after fen-phen users started to become ill. That fact that this tragedy has unfolded over the last five years is proof to the accuracy and relevance contained in this book. Personally this book has opened my eyes to the deception that is out there. Ive learned that I need to be skeptical of products released onto the market. Claims that sound too good to be true probably are, and I should be wary of risking my health. Personal research into claims given by a product could be done easily over the Internet or by asking for a second or third opinion from a physician. Bibliography Brown, Janelle. May 16, 2001.
