My CAH child died from CAH complications.  IT IS NOT MONEY that a med lawsuit is about - IT IS ABOUT PRINCIPLE.  My feelings are that it is UpJohn who was the money hungry party in the liquid cortef matter -- not the parents and/or CAH patients!!  Upjohn is not the one having to pay all the medical bills and go through all the emotional suffering for the injured parties due to their knowingly continuing to manufacture and distribute a faulty product.  It is the parents and insurance companies paying these medical bills, and it is the parents and CAH patients emotionally and physically suffering.  If the attorney gets 50%, I say "so what."  I consider the attys 50% as money paid to work towards the goal of having less CAH children die in this world and less CAH parents and children suffering from the damage of something improper insofar as CAH treatment.  Yes, it is about principle, and seems in this world that filing a lawsuit is often the ONLY way to get something done about something that needs to be changed.  I don’t think of this lawsuit as money, I think of it as saving a child’s life (whether from death or other problems).  IF you are a party who is entitled to be in this lawsuit, and you are against being a part of it because of the money (i.e. you either don’t feel entitled to it or just don’t want any of the money) - then DONATE THE MONEY YOU RECEIVE to support groups, etc. who are working to promote CAH education and save children’s lives!!
