SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT VIOXX IN A "TESTIMONIAL" . . . A reader pointed out a law-related website that contains one of those familiar "testimonial" pages. Normally, such pages are reserved for glowing reviews of a particular law firm. (Example: "From the first day I walked into Murphy Law Firm, I knew I would be taken care of.”) But the Vioxx Legal Help Center is a little different. It contains testimonials for Vioxx. Here's a sample:

"My side effects included stomach aches/heartburn, a swollen lip, and tiredness."

"My husband Gerry S. died of a heart attack while taking Vioxx.  He was only 51 years old."

"I was on Vioxx  until Jan of this year. In march of this year I had a massive stroke." 

"My father took vioxx and suffered a massive stroke. I'm not sure if the two are related."

These stories, if true, aren't funny. But their placement on a "testimonials" page is a bit amusing. In fact, it made me want to do a testimonial of my own:

"The Vioxx Legal Help Center is a funny website! It made me chuckle. It also showed me that canned website solutions don't always work. Thanks, Vioxx Legal Help Center!"

My collected Vioxx posts are here. If you are (a) someone who was harmed by Vioxx or (b) a lawyer who wants to refer your Vioxx cases to a highly-competent team of mass-tort lawyers, look here.
