...potential donor, en route to the hospital by ambulance from Cleveland, Texas, died of a blood clot just a few blocks away; complications prevented use of her heart. Then Dr. Robert Lennon, a Lawrence, Mass, anesthesiologist, called Cooley to say that he had a suitable donor. Mrs. Barbara Ewan, who had suffered fatal brain damage, was considered medically dead (complete absence of brain waves for a period of 48 hours) when she arrived in Houston, but her heart had been kept beating with injections of stimulants. She suffered cardiac arrest just eight blocks from the medical center...

Nonequivalent. Like the lay witnesses, Senator Nelson accepted the claim that a generic-named product, provided it meets Government standards, is exactly the same drug as the brand-name item. Sometimes it is, but not always. Four eminent research physicians in Chicago, headed by famed Anesthesiologist Max S. Sadove, have carefully compared many "generic equivalent" drugs for years and found great differences in the effects on patients. One notable example involved an anesthetic; a cheaper, generic-named form simply did not anesthetize in some cases, and in others the effect wore off too soon. Besides potency and purity, there...
