[HSF] More Bad News About Trasylol

[Hgrmd at aol.com]

Ani,
  As usual, great counterpoints.  I suppose you guys have brow  beaten me 
back into a position where I will still use aprotinin for cases at  particularly 
high risk for bleeding.  I will make a concerted effort to  counsel the 
patient about the use of the drug.  It still gives me the  creeps to see lawyers' 
advertising "Did you suffer kidney failure after heart  surgery?  You may be 
entitled to compensation....."  Everything in  medicine is risk vs. benefit.  I'm 
still very curious as to the subsequent  actions of the FDA.  
  That study you suggested could certainly be done.  I'll have to  put it on 
my "to do" list.
