...Tighe family's fact-finding mission was relatively straightforward. Three years ago, Jimmy Tighe, then 48, of Cleveland, Ohio, fell down some stairs at his father's house and was knocked unconscious.

...risk of two very common ailments: heart attacks and strokes. It's much harder to tell, without careful statistical analyses, when common events become more common. "The [drug-approval] system was tested in ways it was never tested before," says Dr. Eric Topol, chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. "In an era of mass marketing, where data may show uncertainty and where the FDA has no real authority to take action, this class of drugs was set up to fail...
