Andrew's Story
This is from my friend who lost her son, a full term healthy baby, because of the misuse of a drug called Cytotec. I wanted to share this with you all.

Dear Friends,
On October 19th on the 11 PM news, Channel 46, the Atlanta CBS affiliate, will air an important investigative report that I hope you will watch and will alert your friends to watch. The content of this program can save lives.
As many of your know, our son, Andrew, passed away on February 9, 2005. What you may not know is that Andrew's death was due to two factors. First, I was given, without my knowledge or consent, a controversial drug to induce labor. That done, my doctor and nurses failed to act once the horrific side effects of this drug began to manifest. The name of the drug is Cytotec. Had I never been given this drug, Andrew would be alive today. I do not want any other family to needlessly lose an infant and I hope you will watch this segment and will pass this information on so that others can view the segment, also.
Our family is grateful to Wendy Saltzman, the investigative reporter, and to CBS46 for realizing the importance of telling Andrew's story so that others will be forewarned about the dangers of Cytotec and of off-label drug treatments. If you are unable to watch the segment live, or if you want to pass this story on to others who are not in the Atlanta viewing area, the segment will be available on the Channel 46 web site beginning October 20th. Click here to go to the Investigative Reports web site, then select Andrew's story from the list of reports.
We hope that the national CBS network will pick this story up so that more people will be alerted to this danger and more babies will be saved. After seeing the segment, if you want to encourage this, please write to Ms. Saltzman. Her contact information will be available on the www.cbs46.com web site.
Warm regards,
Hansi
