But I really dont think they should be using it without more thorough information on how people OTUSIDE of its intended purpose react to it. If htey HAVE information on that it needs to be released, but certianly i've not seen anything about htat. Like the FDA said, its approved for a narrow spectrum, and benefits only that spectrum.

I don't support soldiers bleeding to death en route to the hospital, but nor do I think they should be given "anecdotally supported" medications. I would prefer for use of it to be discontinued until there IS more evidence about its effects on those outside of its intended users. Survey teh hospitals adn find out who was injected, etc. Give someone a grant... But Don't play with our troops lives.

But it also brings to mind another point htat irks me. THese deaths AREN'T included in our death counts, as are most deaths that occur en route to the hospital, or "outside" of Iraq. IT makes me wonder how bad it REALLY is...

Again, I think its use should be discontinued in this manner until we have information PROVING its safe.

Not to mention that at 6000 a dose, I'd want to see if the parmaceutical company has done any of its OWN research to PROMOTE it for such use.
