Yep, gotta love it. Blood out of every hole, and "thousands could be saved". Uh, OK. Thanks ABC! There's a guy over at the Times named Dwyer that would like to talk with ya!

Unbelievable!

$100 says there's a conflict of interest here (like ABC owning the Xigris manufacturer or vice versa).

ABC is owned by Disney.. Who knows.. perhaps some idiot emailed them to push his love of xigris.

"A major problem in treating sepsis -- there are currently no drugs approved to fight it." A drug...that could treat severe bacterial infections...[scratches head]...what would we call such a thing? Anti...anti-something...Oh, I give up.

Pretty weak. my guess is it has more to do with the author. Disney is so big that this doesnt make a difference to them. WHats their real benefit?

Sigh....commence parade of concerned parents wanting their febrile child's "sepsis" treated.
