joonebuggy,
Did you think that just maybe the reason that your medical examiner didnt list Lexapro as a possible cause of your daughters death was that that would open him professional scrutiny. That he would have to testify in court in a possible civil wrongfull death claim against the drug company?
Most ME in my area of the US dont have time or the staff to take time off to go to court to testify. 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.
Should they have stepped forward and listed the Lexapro...probably so. Will they still do it still...doubtful.
Very sad but probably realistic...
