Most are like cops who when they have to go to court to testify do NOT get to do it 'on company time'. Should they get subpoenaed, are compenstated a token amount from the court for their time away from their private lives and/or familys.

> syringachaletHello again Syringachalet, I have indeed thought of all you said above, as well as the comment the ME made, when I complained because Lexapro was not listed on the autposy report--he said, "Well I don't think there is a cover up" I had not even thought that far--but I'm sure your statement is correct--its the greiving familys who are left with the questions. Whey they can't be of more help to us in finding a lab that can test? I have a call in to him now and awaiting his return.
Thanks for comments--again, I just want answers--at this point anyway, who knows what will come further down the road, maybe nothing, maybe something. But until we get a lab that will test-?? I have no closure( sorry for all my mispelled words)I went back to work last evening--and I work in that hospital, -still can't get any answers, you have to go to the right person, and I will find that person or place-if it takes forever-just to have it listed on her death certificate as it should be.
